Pre-order the New Strong Towns Book. Get These Great Bonuses.
There’s growing excitement around the upcoming release of the new book from Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn.
In Confessions of a Recovering Engineer: Transportation for a Strong Town, Chuck pulls the curtains back on the North American transportation system. He explains how transportation got so bad, and why it keeps getting worse. He writes about the deadly toll of bad design, why the conventional approach puts cities on the road to insolvency, and why public transit is in so much trouble. He also talks about how transportation can be fixed—and why fixing it will involve not just engineers, but local residents and officials who have become effective and empowered advocates, connected with others to make real change.
From Main Street to the halls of Congress, Strong Towns advocates like you are changing the conversation about how we build our towns and cities. We’ve already seen important shifts in how local and national leaders are thinking about transportation infrastructure. We believe launching this book big into the world will help bring further attention to the issues (including better safety, financial resiliency, walkability and bikeability, and more) that Strong Towns advocates are working so hard for.
So we’re asking for your help. We’re asking as many people as possible to preorder the book in advance of the September 8 release date. We believe this will help draw the notice of the media, policymakers, and others, helping to spread the Strong Towns message. You can find a number of online retailers here.
