abstract="The authors examine processes underlying the growth of small urban areas in England. &quot;There is evidence of 'people-led' growth in environmentally attractive locations (for example, through retirement migration). However, growth of small- and medium-sized towns also reflects employment decentralisation and deconcentration to freestanding or satellite towns, and the extension of commuter hinterlands....Government policies encouraging growth are also demonstrated to be significant.&quot; The processes resulting in population decline in some small towns are identified. &quot;The impact on modelling growth in urban areas of a diversity of causal processes and locational contexts for growth is considered.&quot;<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
