Norm Van Eeden Petersman, director of membership and development at Strong Towns, will be giving a presentation titled “Safe and Productive Streets for Pedestrians” on September 9, 2024.

LOCATION: Online   |   DATE: September 9, 2024 

TIME: 5:30 p.m. PDT

Norm will explain how so many North American cities find themselves struggling to deal with disconnected transportation networks and decline after decades of "growth." The problem lies in the current model of development — one which values short-term gains over long-term prosperity. To strengthen cities and ensure their economic success, people must look to traditional ways of building cities. In this presentation, Norm will show how active citizens, local officials and design professionals can change the negative trajectory in their towns and help them to become more resilient and inclusive — no matter what challenges lie ahead.
