Our founder and president, Charles L. Marohn, Jr, published his first book yesterday, Strong Towns. (Get your copy here if you haven't already). But today, we're focusing on the subtitle of that book: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity.
Why can't top-down policies and projects help our places get stronger? What's so magical about all this bottom-up, grassroots-style change Strong Towns is always talking about?
If there's one city in America that answers both of those questions, it's Memphis, Tennessee. And in honor of our visit there today, we're digging deep into what your town can learn from the mistakes of Bluff City's top-down past, and the astonishing, bottom-up actions they're taking today to build a better future.
Will your town follow Memphis' example?
-Kea and the rest of the Strong Towns team.
