+ Specific context: Soviet/communist legacy+ Population decline can have important consequences: city finances, O&M infrastructure, economies of scale..+ Poverty consequences (?): who is left behind? (Poor/Rich, Young/Old)+ Most studies have been done in US + Western Europe + Many focus on specific case studies (Detroit)+ (WB) how to work in shrinking areas?

Global Spatial Development of Cities WB Program:
”Building integrated data sets on urbanization and spatial evolution of cities”
What is the scale of urban decline in ECA countries? PHASE 1
Urban System, Growth/Decline, Regional trends in urban decline
How can countries/cities better manage decline?
PHASE 2What are the policy options? What others are doing & what lessons can be learned?

80 percent of cities in Ukraine are shrinking!!!

Economic dimension: As Economic data at city level is scarce… we use NLs as a proxy for economic activity
We tested this relationship using regional GDP + NLs data…

Use NLs intensity to identify economic trendsaccross the territory

Spatial dimension: NLs urban footprint trends
![Page 19: Managing Decline - World Bankpubdocs.worldbank.org/pubdocs/publicdoc/2015/8/... · 2015-07-13 · World Bank Group Urbanization and Spatial Development of Countries, Research Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050610/5fb1d429e9e38078a90657cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Based on Spatial & Econ dimension, create typology:
Thriving core,expanding area
Dimming core,expanding area
Thriving core,shrinkingarea
Dimming core,shrinkingarea
![Page 20: Managing Decline - World Bankpubdocs.worldbank.org/pubdocs/publicdoc/2015/8/... · 2015-07-13 · World Bank Group Urbanization and Spatial Development of Countries, Research Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050610/5fb1d429e9e38078a90657cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These are the results for Ukraine;
Expanding Footprint &dimming core(16 percent)
Dimming core & shrinking in footprint(48 percent)
Thriving core & expanding in footprint(35 percent)

Preliminary conclusions
[Preliminary results – Work in Progress]
(1) Heterogenity between countries: some experiencing an importantdemographic decline affecting a large proportion of urbanpopulation and cities (Ukraine & Bulgaria), others much lower(Kyrgyz, Georgia)
(2) Heterogeneity in spatial, economic and demographic patternsaccross countries
(3) Hypothesis: Different types of shrinking cities (Sprawl, absolute, thriving…): shrinking not necesary bad – towards a new equilibria?

Challenges
• Differences in defining cities, changes in admin boundaries over time (Turkey)
• NLs specific
– Small cities: few observations (Urban threshold) - Georgia
– Regional variation of light elasticity (Ukraine), what are theconsequences?
– Debate of using NLs as proxy for economic activity (going down to citylevel)
Next steps: robustness (urban threshold, typologies) + GHSL + roll out for theremaining ECA countries
