  • Geographies in flux - how time and location influence shrinking medium-sized cities

    Open AccessEwa Szymczyk, Carlos Marmolejo-Duarte et al.ARTICLECities2026

    Urban shrinkage has emerged as a significant challenge across Europe, particularly for medium-sized cities (MSCs) with populations between 20,000 and 100,000. While previous research has largely focused on demographic decline in large cities, the spatial and institutional dynamics of shrinkage in MSCs remain underexplored. This study offers a comparative, longitudinal analysis of MSCs in Germany and Poland, two countries with different urban syst…

  • Does Compactness Matter? Comparative Study of Medium‐Sized Shrinking Cities’ Compactness in Germany and Poland

    Open AccessEwa Szymczyk, Mateusz Bukowski et al.ARTICLEUrban Planning2026

    Urban shrinkage is an increasingly pressing phenomenon in Europe, affecting medium‐sized cities that are vital to regional stability. However, large‐scale, longitudinal research on the relationship between urban form characteristics and shrinkage remains limited. This study examines whether urban compactness influences the trajectory of shrinking cities by comparing all medium‐sized cities (20,000–100,000 inhabitants) in Germany and Poland over 1…
