Preferred term

ghost towns  

Definition(s)

  • Ghost towns are examples of failed community. A ghost town once sustained a population, economic activity, and culture; it once exhibited an economic vitality, a sense of community, and patterns of activity—commerce, employment, clubs, lodges, churches, and schools—that match those of communities that survive. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Ghost Towns]
