摘要
The recent literature is replete with studies of cities and city-regions, citing their various advantages in innovation, production, and consumption. So what sort of future can a non-metropolitan place expect? This paper argues that these places are surprisingly heterogeneous and, as such, their futures will be highly mixed. Those small communities and rural areas blessed with ample land-based or energy resources, or easy access to bountiful natural amenities, should continue to enjoy bright prospects. Most micropolitan centres, especially those having substantial urban cores and enjoying nearness to larger cities, should continue to prosper. Some smaller centres might even benefit from innovation that happens to thrive on local knowledge or social proximity. But those small places and rural areas lacking in resources, amenities, and metropolitan proximity will likely continue to decline.
