What does the future hold for winter cities? Will the migration of people and jobs to the sunbelt prove to be an irreversible trend? This volume assesses the prospects of snowbelt cities. The contributors suggest that the future of older cities in winter climates will be influenced by: the revitalization of older industrial cities; the annexation in the growth of southern cities; the concept of 'liveable winter cities'; the evolution of transactional cities as a significant sector of the economy; and new design initiatives such as multibuilding, multiblock pedestrian walkways, and mass production of glass at a low cost.

Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times, in an effort to reduce economic risk, address environmental concerns and adapt to the effects of global warming. New ski destinations are developing and merging with traditional ones to increase spatial distribution, while many established leading resorts are adapting their management models. Climate change adaptation processes are supported by the reduction of CO2 emissions and energy consumption in ski resorts. Current planning challenges include the increasing importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development, as well as snow reliability, snow management and safety issues.
