Strong Towns Readers, It's Time to Take Action
Chances are, you’re on this website because something is going wrong—very wrong. Your city’s finances are at a breaking point. Your neighbors can’t get their basic needs fulfilled. Your streets aren’t safe…The way we’ve been building our communities for decades is insolvent, and it’s only setting up future generations for more struggle.
But the good news is, you’re not alone in this realization. You’re here, and that means you’ve connected with a community of people who understand our cities’ problems and want to make a change. Together, we’ve got a plan that you can starting putting into action right now.
Today, I am sharing with you a few quotes from our amazing members that show you just how powerful this movement can be—and, I hope, will inspire you to start taking action in your place as soon as you can.
“I live in a town that has seen its best days go by, but I’m not ready to give up on it yet. A lot of positive things are happening, due in no small part to some people who are followers of the Strong Towns movement.”
“I explained the differences between streets and roads during a candidate forum and intrigued the crowd enough with that one perception to be elected to the city council. I credited Strong Towns, of course.”
“The Strong Towns movement transcends the ‘normal’ answers to the very complex issues that our communities face. Too often, the ‘solutions’ offered are more of the same approaches that got us to this point.
The Strong Towns movement digs deeper, often to places where the typical design professions and organizations fail to go, and I have found that the Strong Towns approach resonates with people outside of the design professions. That is what it is going to take to bring real change, and that is why I am drawn to and supportive of this movement.”
