Contesting the observation that Dundee was a ‘shrinking city’, Professor Deborah Peel, chair of architecture and planning at Dundee University, said Dundee was also a "city in transformation". "Dundee had been declining in terms of population, but actually the official statistics now show the city is growing," she said. "The reason for a city shrinking is, for example, because it has relied on a single economy and if that fails then the city fails - whereas Dundee's agenda at the moment is to have a much more diversified economy and that makes it resilient to any single shock."
