Membership is 40% of Strong Towns’ revenue—we couldn’t do this work without you. As the Strong Towns movement has grown, we’ve started to take on larger projects and have looked at ways that we can support those initiatives. Instrumental in orchestrating this has been Grace Whately, the Strong Towns development associate.
One of the larger projects that Grace and the rest of the team have been working on is the launch of the Crash Analysis Studio, which will create an alternative framework for analyzing car crashes. Today, Chuck and Grace go behind the scenes and chat about how this project came about, and the steps that went into making this idea a reality.
The Crash Analysis Studio and the other projects we’re working on to help advocates push for safer streets and more financially resilient communities are only possible thanks to the support of our members. If you want to be a part of this movement that’s changing the development pattern of North America, then join in and become a Strong Towns member today.
Grace Whatley is the Development Resource Specialist at Strong Towns, creating key resources, collateral, project proposals and grant applications that support specific programmatic initiatives and accelerate the mission of Strong Towns at large. Growing up in small-town New England, she is a proponent of strong rural communities and their innate relationships to the land around them. Prior to joining the Strong Towns team, Grace lived and worked in the remote desert community of Green River, Utah, where she facilitated an artist residency, managed small-scale downtown revitalization projects, and secured grant funding from private and public sources. She is also an artist herself, working variably in printmaking, drawing/painting, and ceramics. Grace now lives in Delta, Colorado with her partner, a cat and dog, a small collection of terrarium animals, and a large collection of rocks and houseplants.
