Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes is presented through forward-thinking ideas that challenge modern wisdom and offer a fresh vision for urban development in the United States. The author, co-founder of the Strong Towns movement, explains why cities struggle to meet their basic needs and introduces a paradigm that addresses this issue. The conventional approach of inducing growth and development as a response to urban financial challenges is examined, revealing its inadequacy. New developments and high-risk investments fail to generate sufficient wealth for sustainability, leaving cities in continued distress. This book emphasizes the importance of bottom-up investments that minimize risk while enhancing community financial strength and improving residents' quality of life. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the flawed logic behind the traditional pursuit of endless urban growth and discover practical solutions for financial challenges through low-risk investments and grassroots initiatives. Insights and tools are provided to help break the cycle of budget shortfalls and downturns. By shifting focus from top-down growth to rebuilding prosperity, community leaders can embrace a revolutionary approach to urban development that acknowledges existing problems and charts a new path forward.
