Youngstown, Ohio, USA.A secondhand shop established in an abandoned factory. Youngstown is in the Rust Belt and was a centre of steel production. It was forced to redefine itself when the U.S. steel industry fell into decline in the 1970s, leaving communities throughout the region without major industries. Since 1960 the city has experienced a decline of over 60% in its population. (KEYSTONE/VII Photo/Espen Rasmussen)
