Across North America, people feel like their cities just aren’t working anymore.
The roads are falling apart. Budgets are stretched thin. Downtowns that once felt alive are struggling. What’s going on, and more importantly, what can we do about it?
Get ready to change the way you see your town.
Places That Work is an eye-opening talk that reveals how a decades-long experiment in how we build our cities (the Suburban Experiment) is failing, and how we can fix it with approaches that are time-tested, financially smart and deeply human.
Whether you’re a city leader, local advocate, or just someone who loves your town and wants to make it better, this talk will change the way you see the place you live.
