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.
