| Summary: | Demographic changes (population decline) and their (urban) consequences are a real challenge for the
small and medium-sized towns of Europe and Hungary. The research question concerning this
phenomenon is: how to deal with urban shrinkage and is there any proper and overall answer to this
process? Although there is no universal cure for the maintenance and development of these towns, nor for
stopping demographic shrinkage, resilience and local culture can provide good conditions to deal with the
urban issues raised. Kisújszállás, the cultural capital of Great Cumania can be a good example of how the
function-extending renewal of a historical building of the town can strengthen its retaining power and
how it can also contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the settlement, all in all, making it a more
attractive and viable place to live in. |
