New urbanists (aka fans of human-scaled urban design), unite! Join us to discuss the first half of the book "Strong Towns, A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity". We want to start at a pace we can calmly carry a conversation and hone in and pause on stories that caught our attention. All welcome!About the book: "Strong Towns: A Bottom Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem.
Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles―and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life." - Amazon summary
