“The economy has evolved so much since the middle of the 20th century that many cities that were among the largest and most vibrant in America have collapsed. Some have lost more than half of their residents. Others have lost the businesses that made them important centers of finance, manufacturing and commerce.”
The article has some details but here’s their 10:
1. Buffalo
2. Flint
3. Hartford
4. Cleveland
5. New Orleans
6. Detroit
7. Albany
8. Atlantic City
9. Allentown
10. Galveston
New Orleans is 5, and Detroit is 6. That is pretty impressive considering those two cities have been destroyed literally (N.O.) and financially (Detroit).
