In fulfilment of my MS Design and Urban Ecologies degree, I developed "Heerlen: Mining for Social Innovation in a Shrinking City," an exhibition proposal engaging with community organization and social innovation in Heerlen, The Netherlands, formerly a mining city. Following traditional definitions of urban shrink, Heerlen is considered a shrinking city because of its declining population, economic collapse, and political disinvestment. Through installations and public programs, the proposed exhibition — set in Heerlen in the fall of 2020 — invites urban designers, policymakers, community practitioners, and local residents to reimagine the meanings and impact of urban population decline and create urban futures less dependent on population and economic growth and more focused on community space-making practices and urban commons. Set in a wider context of declining populations across North American, European, and East Asian cities, this exhibition reconsiders what constitutes a shrinking city and amplifies the Anti City Praxis, which represent relevant examples of community organizing that enable the improvement of socio-spatial urban infrastructures regardless of population growth or decline.
