Is Your City Quietly Going Broke? Here's How to Find Out...And How to Fix It
Chances are, your community is going broke.
How do we know? Because it’s happening practically everywhere.
In towns and cities across North America, decades of bad development decisions—often disguised as “growth”—have been quietly undermining the foundation of lasting prosperity. Just imagine, an entire continent of cities, drifting toward bankruptcy at the same time. And most of them don’t even know it.
The good news is that it might not be too late. Because across the United States and Canada, tens of thousands of people like you are taking action. They are becoming effective advocates of a better way, connecting with others to help make meaningful change in their communities.
If you’re feeling any of these things—
Confused about how we got to this point
Overwhelmed by the scope of the problem
Alone in trying to address it, or
Unsure about where to start
—then you don’t want to miss tomorrow’s free webinar with Strong Towns President Charles Marohn.
In this presentation, Marohn highlights some of the most powerful stories in his book, Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity, and uses those insights to highlight a path to community prosperity.
Participants will come away with the core insights every Strong Towns advocate needs to know:
Learn the underlying reasons why your city is going broke.
Understand why the collapse of Detroit isn’t an anomaly but rather a harbinger of things to come for communities everywhere (and of all sizes).
Gain the knowledge needed to stop bad development practices now.
Learn the plan to make your neighborhood stronger and more prosperous.
Take control of your community’s future.
This free presentation showcases why so many towns in North America are struggling financially despite decades of robust growth.
We believe it could also be the catalyst you need for your place to become financially stronger.
P.S. Last year, Chuck was invited to give this presentation in-person in hundreds of towns and cities across North America. He was only able to make it to about 60. We’re offering it now for the first time ever as a live webinar.
