A Queen's University researcher says Cape Breton Regional Municipality's population loss has been persistent and severe, but that does not mean prosperity is unattainable.
A planning researcher found Cape Breton Regional Municipality has Canada's most persistent and severe case of urban population decline — but he also says that prosperity is not out of reach.
Queen's University professor Maxwell Hartt recently published a book called
Quietly Shrinking Cities, which uses CBRM as a case study to examine urban depopulation, something that he says does not always signal a downturn in the community.
