Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity - by Charles L. Marohn Jr.

In Strong Towns, Charles L. Marohn Jr. argues that American cities and towns have become financially unsustainable due to poor urban planning and reliance on car-dependent infrastructure. Marohn advocates for a bottom-up approach to urban development, emphasizing the importance of small-scale, community-driven initiatives that focus on building financially resilient and livable neighborhoods. By challenging conventional models of growth and development, Strong Towns calls for a shift towards local investment, walkability, and the efficient use of resources, aiming to create cities that can thrive in the long term and foster economic prosperity for all.
