Shrinking Cities investigates the contemporary phenomenon of cities decreasing in size with artworks and displays from Detroit, Liverpool-Manchester, Halle-Leipzig and Ivanovo. Dense, thought-provoking and very large, this exhibition sheds light on the big urban issue the post-industrial world and leads us to the conclusion, that just as losing weight can be good for people, shrinkage can be good for cities.
