The conventional response to these struggles is: more growth. If a city can induce more development, more construction, and more infrastructure, then it can grow its way to prosperity. Yet, what if the American approach to growth is the problem? What if the wealth generated by all that new investment isn't enough to support the infrastructure? That is the core premise of Strong Towns, a movement to change the way cities approach growth and development. While modern city development creates a short-term illusion of prosperity, it results in more long-term obligations than the community can handle. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we life. By shifting focus from state and federal growth initiatives towards the basic, day-to-day needs of residents, communities of all sizes can make low risk investments that simultaneously strengthen the community financially while improving quality of life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z United States $x Growth. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $x Economic aspects. $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development $z United States. 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861781 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Economic aspects. $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861785 650 7 $a Community development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870818 650 7 $a Sustainable urban development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744955 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Marohn, Charles L., Jr. $t Strong towns $d Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., [2020] $z 9781119565154 $w (DLC) 2019024509 941 $a 6 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403013549.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202020237.0 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209015055.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20210522010225.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201002011845.0 952 $l HUAX887 $d 20200130105058.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18E1E3DE2DF711EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
