Charles Marohn

Charles Marohn is an urban planner and engineer who advocates for better-designed communities. He emphasizes that roads and land use should work together to create affordable, walkable neighborhoods rather than prioritizing big highways and suburban sprawl that can be costly and unsustainable. Marohn promotes "small town" development principles, focusing on efficient infrastructure, local economies, and quality of life. His work encourages a shift away from car-centric planning to more community-oriented approaches that support local businesses, reduce infrastructure expenses, and foster healthier, more connected neighborhoods.
