Dozens of US cities may have entire neighbourhoods bulldozed as part of drastic "shrink to survive" proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline.

The government looking at expanding a pioneering scheme in Flint, one of the poorest US cities, which involves razing entire districts and returning the land to nature.

Local politicians believe the city must contract by as much as 40 per cent, concentrating the dwindling population and local services into a more viable area.

The radical experiment is the brainchild of Dan Kildee, treasurer of Genesee County, which includes Flint.

Mr Kildee has now been approached by the US government and a group of charities who want him to apply what he has learnt to the rest of the country.

Mr Kildee said he will concentrate on 50 cities, identified in a recent study by the Brookings Institution, an influential Washington think-tank, as potentially needing to shrink substantially to cope with their declining fortunes.

Most are former industrial cities in the "rust belt" of America's Mid-West and North East. They include Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Memphis.

The faster he can implement this plan the better. Heck, I'll drive the bulldozers.

Reminds me of the 'joke' that circulated around the border at Windsor/Detroit . . "What do you call a fire in Detroit?" "Urban Renewal".

It is a smart idea. Some downtown places I have seen have become a cesspool of crime and are just hideous to look at. They're cities of a forgotten era when every 100 miles there was a city / town. The future lies in a handful of key modern cities.

As far as the D is concerned....that would take a miracle. Wonder if the Messiah is truly capable ...

Detroit is gone. I would bulldoze the entire city and help people and any company left move to another city. I definitely think moving the auto manufacturers to some larger modern cities would give them some new talent to capitalize on.

Obama is a stealth Muslim and he is going to take over all Christian churches and raze them all down. Yes it is true. He secretly hates those cities.
