Engaging with Strong Towns Advocates

A recent trip to California enabled connections with Strong Towns advocates across various cities, where walking tours showcased community needs and improvements. Notable examples included the installation of parking protected bike lanes that enhance cyclist safety and rehabilitated industrial spaces transformed into vibrant coffee shops and small-scale manufacturing venues. This trip highlighted the urgent challenges surrounding housing affordability, as many communities are grappling with rising costs that push the need for subsidy support higher. Engagement with affordable housing societies indicated a collective enthusiasm toward fostering change and improvement within these towns.
