Strong Towns is replacing America's postwar pattern of development, the Suburban Experiment, with a pattern of development that is financially strong and resilient. We advocate for cities of all sizes to be safe, livable and inviting. We believe local government is the highest level of collaboration for people working together in a place, not merely the lowest level in a hierarchy of governments.
Strong Towns has Local Conversations across the country, enabling advocates to connect and transform ideas into action within their own communities.
