Charles Marohn, Strong Towns President, will be a keynote presenter at the 2022 Annual Convention of the Utah League of Cities and Towns in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 6, 2022.

LOCATION: Salt Lake Palace Convention Center   |   DATE: October 6, 2022

Charles will share a presentation titled “Fiscal Stability and Growth for Small Towns and Midsize Cities” where he will explain, in plain language, how so many American cities have found themselves in decline after decades of “growth.” The problem lies in the current model of development — one which values short-term gains over long-term prosperity. To strengthen our cities and ensure their economic success, we must look to traditional ways of building cities. In this presentation, we show how active citizens, local officials and design professionals can change the negative trajectory in their towns and help them to become more resilient — no matter what challenges lie ahead.
