Braddock, Pennsylvania - Urban Decay and Frontier Growth

Ever since  reading about Braddock, Pennsylvania in a Rolling Stone article, I've been very taken by way in which Mayor Fetterman has tried to bring life to a city that used to have 20,000 or so residents and now has around 10% of that with the core industry long gone.

PBS did a video in 2010 that features Fetterman and Braddock.

Watch the full episode. See more NOW on PBS.

Where are you seeing efforts to re-establish the decaying edges of urban life? What kinds of urban frontier strategies do you think are most promising?
