À propos de cette écoute

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 cofounded, 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.

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. Listen to 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.

Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

    In this lively and personal work, the author argues persuasively that the current built environment is not sufficiently dense for municipalities to be able to afford to maintain related infrastructure in the future. He exposes that the unending development of vacant land is just a flight forward that will not resolve the problem.

    The author explains that he has presented his theses extensively on the lecture tour. Apparently, he has failed to make much of an impact on public opinion up to date. This may be because the solution to the issues he presents lies simply in a major increase in city taxes in decades to come. This may not be wholeheartedly welcomed but could grow as an unavoidable necessity, say like raising health costs.

    Some readers may find that the author belabours his arguments and spends too much time discussing his own projects and circumstances as a consultant.

    Overall, this book does offer a refreshing look at current urban development trends and is certainly worthwhile in stimulating new thoughts.

    Interesting!
