What People Are Saying About "Strong Towns": The Book
The reviews are rolling in for Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity — and we're flattered and humbled by the not only kind but deeply insightful reactions to the book that, at long last, captures the core insights of the growing Strong Towns movement between two covers.
If you've started reading Strong Towns, you know it's not just a book about infrastructure, or city planning, or public finance, or urban design. It's a book about human nature—our tendency toward hubris and shortsightedness, on the one hand, but on the other, our endless ingenuity in building habitat for ourselves and finding better ways to live together in community.
And the most gratifying thing to us is that our reviewers so far not only get it; each of them has reflected the Strong Towns message back to us in a way that has helped us understand it a bit better ourselves. This is also what you, our readers and members of the Strong Towns movement, do every day, and we're so grateful.

Praise for Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity
This is civic republicanism, participatory democracy, populist self-governance, and fiscal humility all rolled into one…. a great, vital work of localist theory, and needs to be honored for such.
