Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second, a portion of College Park, is an older neighborhood a quarter mile north of the University of Florida. Research was conducted by administering a questionnaire to residents of both neighborhoods, performing a field survey to confirm the presence of psychological traffic calming, and recording speeds along four street segments, two from each neighborhood. Results indicated that the residents of both neighborhoods perceived their streets to be safe for pedestrians. Speeds on three out of four street segments were comparable to physical traffic calming design standards, best practice design speeds for residential streets, and the preferred speed of neighborhood residents (as determined by the questionnaire). The fourth segment was subject to a large amount of cut-through traffic and was only safe by the conventional 30 mph standard for residential streets. Overall, both the master-designed scheme of Haile Village Center and the informal scheme of College Park were effective at calming traffic and creating safe streets for pedestrians.
