Combining personal storytelling with case studies, author Joanna Ganning--a planning professor and native of West Virginia-- advances theory (including in some controversial areas), offers practical strategies for professionals, and meaningfully connects lived experiences with scholarship. Includes case studies of Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Gary, Indiana, and Charleston, West Virginia; personal vignettes emphasize why these cities matter beyond their postindustrial economies, especially to the people who live in and continue to love them. Written for general audiences, planning practitioners, and classroom use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Ganning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558444785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558444782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lincoln Institute of Land Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Joanna Ganning","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097318007039,"sku":"9781558444782","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rust-in-my-blood-joanna-ganning-9781558444782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
