The author, Stephanie Ryberg-Webster, posits an interesting conundrum: how does the concept of preservation as a revitalization tool apply to legacy cities that remain in a state of decline. 1 In the first portion of the book, she explores the application of practices and principles by preservationists throughout the era of deindustrialization in Cleveland, noting some compliance with national trends, a gathering of local support, and some preservation successes. She also chronicles the doggedness of city-funded demolitions, the lack of fiscal support. . . You do not currently have access to this content.
