Why are so many cities and towns across North America going broke? Our roads are deteriorating. Our governments are in debt. No matter how much we increase them, our taxes aren’t enough to fix it all. And it seems like no one can agree on how we got here—much less how to change course. This isn’t just about numbers on a budget: This is about the fate of the communities we love most and the real people who live there. This is about giving our citizens, today and tomorrow, a chance at the future they deserve. 

If we want American cities to be strong and resilient, we need to change everything about the way we plan and build our places.

Norm Van Eeden Petersman explains in plain language how so many American cities have found themselves in decline after decades of “growth.” And then we show you a revolutionary way forward that could create enduring prosperity—if we just have the courage to change our minds.
