Although urban decliningrather than urban emergent might be a more accurate label today for this Rust Belt city characterized by a shrinking population and industrial base as well as efforts to reverse this trend, the identification of the district as one in flux with characteristics of the much larger city it once was and aspirations to redevelop was appropriate.
The statement describes a city in the Rust Belt that is losing population and industry but is trying to turn things around. Although it is currently on the decline, it still shows traits of the much larger, busier city it used to be. There are efforts to rebuild and bring back some of its old glory. The mix of old strengths and new hopes is key to understanding and helping the city.
