Declining Settlements - New Zealand
Generally, different zones offer distinctly different aspects for interested groups to experience.

Declining settlements and ghost tows are found in many places where industries faded away.  Exploring these places can be most interesting and educational.

You feel the depression, resignation and disappointment on the loss of personal fortunes. We find sad old buildings past their natural life and pleading for an occupant.

Ghost towns
We see places that are have only shapes in the land now, some have fully formed buildings overgrown with vegetation silent and deserted.

Studies
We explore the possible causes (incl leadership, environmental, industrial & geographical) and search out the social and financial effects a declining community has on its inhabitants.  Can we learn the warning signs of a declining town so we can avoid loosing everything we work  for.
