What does it really mean for a place to be financially strong?
Join Strong Towns and our long-time collaborators at Urban3 (U3) for a special, forward-looking session exploring how communities can build lasting prosperity through better land use and smarter public investment.
Urban3 has worked with cities across North America to visualize how development patterns perform financially. Their work aligns closely with the Strong Towns approach, helping local leaders and residents understand which types of growth generate long-term value and which quietly create liabilities.
Using recent work in Northwest Arkansas as a case study, this session will:
- Provide context for Fayetteville ahead of the Strong Towns National Gathering
- Show how Urban3’s tools reveal the productive use of land at a detailed level
- Share lessons from similar communities across the country
- Explore how the careful, incremental extension of city services supports financially resilient growth
This is a unique opportunity to learn how better information leads to better decisions and stronger communities.
