The Strong Towns Movement

The Strong Towns Movement is a community-focused approach to urban development that promotes creating financially resilient, walkable, and well-maintained towns and cities. It encourages cities to grow in ways that support local economies, prioritize infrastructure investments that pay for themselves, and foster vibrant communities. Instead of relying on continuous expansion or expensive development, Strong Towns emphasizes meaningful, incremental improvements that make neighborhoods more livable and sustainable over time. The movement aims to help municipalities avoid financial burdens and decline, ensuring towns are strong, adaptable, and capable of supporting their residents long-term.
