Curbside Chat with Chuck Marohn

Chuck Marohn talks about Strong Towns at Glenwood Spring Community Center

Chuck Marohn, author of Thoughts on Building Strong Towns (Volume 1), the primary author of the Strong Towns Blog and the host of the Strong Towns Podcast, presented to 35 residents from the region about the Ponzi scheme growth and development experiment that has dominated communities across the U.S. since the 1950s. 

The main points of his presentation and ongoing work focus on these tenets: 

• Current path that cities are currently on is not financially stable,
• The future for most cities is not going to resemble the recent past; and
• The main determinant of prosperity for cities is the ability of local leaders to transform their communities.

Thanks to Channel 10 for taping the presentation.  We'll post it shortly.
