Interestin piece on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme about Dan Kildee who
has been involved in what one might call the managed contraction of
Flint Michigan, and is now going to look at other US cities at the
invitation of President Obama. This involves demolishing large areas of
vacant housing etc and returning them to open space, gardens etc. In
effect redesigning a city to serve a smaller population.
