Summary/Abstract: Shrinkage represents one of the major challenges in the 21st century Europe. The inhabitants and authorities of many cities and regions across the continent are already facing a shrinkage to a dramatic extent. The bad news is that once the shrinkage has started, it is hard to stop it without significant and very expensive interventions. A decisive investment in the local infrastructure or an acquisition of tax benefits for entrepreneurs may create new jobs and thus contribute to the revitalisation of the local economy. However, even when the investments are assured, there is no guarantee for longterm social sustainability of a shrinking city.
