What will the urban landscape look like in the post-quarantine future? Join Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn and Solidarity Hall board member Russell Arben Fox for a discussion of what’s coming for our cities and towns.

Risky, low returning projects too often become expensive boondoggles that haunt a community for decades. Public officials and community advocates everywhere are desperately seeking an alternative.
In this free webinar, Strong Towns president Charles Marohn will introduce the "Neighborhoods First" approach to growing a stronger community by making small, incremental investments over time.
By observing how neighbors live their lives, by asking them where their daily struggles are, by getting out on the street and discovering what is actually going on, we can discern what a community’s pressing needs are. These projects are the truly high return investments…and they are all around us.
This presentation will:
Demonstrate how to grow financially while taking less risk, all while directly serving the people already living and working in your city
How to transition from riskier top-down projects to bottom-up, neighborhood-driven projects that will make your town or city more financially prosperous
How to make low-risk investments that pay off higher
And how to use these investments to improve the quality of life for all residents.
A portfolio of incremental projects, each building on observed needs and past successes, is the basis of a solid, longterm investment strategy for communities of any size. It is an approach that fits into every budget. It will empower local communities to take control of their own future.
And most importantly, you can get started right now.
