CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. — The Future of Small Cities Institute invites Catherine Tumber to speak about “The Peril & Promise of America’s Smaller Legacy Cities” as the institute’s 1st Annual Winter Keynote taking place virtually on Feb. 23 at 11 a.m. Over the past 40 years, small and midsize legacy cities (pop. 40,000-250,000) have taken a beating. They have suffered disproportionately from the liberalization of global trade, the flight of manufacturing, the rise of the digital innovation economy, the monopolization of agriculture, and the aggressive financing of suburban growth. As a result, they face ongoing depopulation, plummeting tax bases, concentrated poverty, and the development pattern known as sprawl without growth. In the final indignity, these once vital regional centers became invisible as cities, overshadowed by large global economy powerhouses and often lumped together with small towns out in flyover country.
