Not only residents, but also retail establishments and places of employment are abandoning the city and choosing to locate on the outer fringe of metropolitan areas. As this trend continues, the lack of people and commercial investment is causing our cities to decay. For the sake of our cities, there is now a greater need than ever to explore ways to reverse this outward pull toward the metropolitan fringe. By exploring the history behind outward migration, current examples of downtown revitalization, and forces that act as a means to attract people back to the central city, this thesis will propose a solution to the blight facing many of our nation’s downtowns. Specifically, these findings will culminate in a design project located in a largely abandoned district in downtown Toledo, Ohio. 2004-07-02 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1083365585 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1083365585 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
