We tend to associate small town economic development with the decline of the rural United States - empty houses, shuttered shops and rusting factories. A common diagnosis of sluggish small town recovery is their lack of lifestyle amenities that attract new residents and businesses. Yet many small towns have shown progress and potential in recent years. Some millennials are coming back and big cities maintain symbiotic relationships with smaller communities. This collection of recent articles by experts presents stories of small-town America's struggle and describes innovations and practices behind successful revivals.
