A bottom-up, incremental approach to development takes time and intention. It’s not something you can pick up and plop down in neighborhood after neighborhood.

But there is a formula that we use at Strong Towns to guide public investments, and it’s one we’ve seen work in countless communities throughout the United States. Join us for training on how to use this four-step process and learn why it succeeds.

Strong Towns Community Builder John Pattison kicks things off to guide you through the process. Next, we feature Advisory Board member and founder of Cities Decoded, Tiffany Owens, to talk about her own work helping neighbors understand what’s happening in their cities, connect with other advocates, and, together, build more resilient places.

The course is worth 1 continuing education credit through the AICP.
