Abstract: City crisis has been a subject of urban debates in both Anglo-Saxon and German space."Shrinking city" (schrumpfende Stadt) term was developed in Germany and means a persistent urban crisis which is characterized by depopulation and worsening economic conditions.Nowadays, often, the only determinant for calling a city as shrinking is a population decrease.Such understanding might be misleading.In the Author's view age structure of population is at least as important for the city economic performance and physical development as its quantitative change.
