Forbes' '10 Fastest Dying Cities' Fight Back
Last year, Forbes Magazine named the 10 Fastest Dying Cities in the U.S. Eight of those cities decided to come together and fight back.
"Frustrated by what he saw as the article's failure to capture the successes these cities are realizing in overcoming challenges to attract entrepreneurs, implement policy innovations and revitalize neighborhoods, Peter Benkendorf, director of an arts program in Dayton, Ohio, and a relatively new resident of the city, decided to do something about it.
The result was Ten Living Cities, a two-day symposium and arts festival aimed at bringing together community activists, artists, and concerned citizens from all ten of the cities listed to share ideas and celebrate the fact that these cities are very much alive."
