#50 - Chuck Marohn, StrongTowns

Chuck Marohn is a civil engineer, urban planner, and the founder of StrongTowns: an organization that has been shaking up the world of planning, development, and local governance with one powerful idea: that many of our cities, especially in North America, are financially insolvent by design.Through his books, lectures, and relentless advocacy, he’s exposed the hidden fragility of car-centric growth and championed a new, bottom-up approach to building places that are financially strong, resilient, and deeply human.Visit the StrongTowns website here: https://www.strongtowns.org Follow them on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@strongtowns Follow StrongTowns on X: https://x.com/StrongTownsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/strong_towns/ ======== For more information on The Aesthetic City, find our website on https://theaestheticcity.com/Love what we do?
