I am delighted that you will be joining us for this event as we explore the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in southwestern Pennsylvania. In the course of the past year, a number of key policy issues have emerged at the state and local levels. We have not yet passed legislation to address pensions and transportation funding, two key issues that will be of critical importance during the legislative session this fall. Also among these is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which emerged as the most critical issue for Policy Makers and the Institute of Politics to address. This is primarily because the Act is so complex: it includes the components that one hears about in the media: employer and individual mandates, exemptions to various components of the law, the potential expansion of Medicaid, subsidies for certain categories of individuals, families and businesses, and tax changes, among other things.

Even as the population and density of these cities de- crease, the infrastructure and physical area—and the cost to maintain them—remain the same. A new concept known as “Creative Shrinkage” calls for planning proactively for the possible or likely population shrinkage of a city by adjusting its physical size to its reduced population. This study explores the causes of urban growth and decline in Youngstown, Ohio and Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania and compares Pittsburgh’s conventional responses with the unconventional “Creative Shrinkage” responses adopted by Youngstown, and determines that Creative Shrink- age as utilized in Youngstown has several standard components that allow for its use as a strat- egy for declining cities. The study suggests a new federal program to assist declining cities with shrinkage and calls for a shrinkage-oriented planning model.
