We summarize a considerable body of recent literature on the role of amenities in regional growth and decline, finding amenities to be of increasing importance to the growth and decline of regions. It is likely that amenity forces become more important as the development process proceeds.
Keywords: migration, regional growth, regional decline, amenities, development
