- How can our towns get stronger-not weaker-when our economy changes? How can we repopulate our empty streets and empty storefronts? What can we learn from the earliest days of city building about building better places tomorrow? And how can active citizens, local officials, and ordinary people make it happen today, no matter how badly we’re starting off?
On October 25, TAC co-hosted a talk by Charles Marohn of Strong Towns with the Congress for the New Urbanism to answer these questions, and to participate in a community-specific discussion about how the Strong Towns approach can improve Washington, DC and cities like it.
This is absolutely crucial information for the public, more people must see this!
this is terrific information. thanks to C Marohn & TAC
This dude is awesome!
58:56 - This map shows 2 subsidies - the poor neighborhoods subsidize the rich neighborhoods.
I always respect people who don't blame leaders. You and me must be the change
Thank you! Wow!
5:30 Talk starts
Now we get it about Flint and Jackson
Seems like he's subconsciously advocating for 15 minute cities.
How many people did you tell about it?
Get busy
It's the next smallest thing you can do
very sad this guy is a conservative
Do you mean it's sad that he has such good ideas, yet speaks to conservatives?
Or that it's sad that a guy with such bad ideas is being listened to by conservatives?
Honest curiosity!
@@Cjbcampbell Oh no, it's that he himself is conservative, despite his good ideas, he still believes things like leftists just want authoritarianism to take care of them and other late cold war bullshit. Seems like a good guy just has the same disease many in his demo do.
@@KingThallion Cool thanks. Yes, I see your point, and it could well be said that the 'ideal', non-idealistic city plan of 100 years ago was not so great as Marohn suggests. After all, that kind of planning was not enough to avert the Great Depression. Still, what stands out for me is this (for me) stunning new turn where a self-ID'ed conservative is turning against car culture and the suburbs. We're not in Kansas anymore....
@@Cjbcampbell I think for some people who spend a lot time around academics, depending on their environment, being conservative is just a way of signaling what moral questions they will consider and which they will disregard. It's great suburbs and cars aren't a sacred cow to him, but to me it signals that he has a limit and he's likely to be taken advantage of. In his favor, is that he can focus on details and not get stuck in making one big moral stance that other more left/liberal whatever are want to do. Sometimes the sole reason a leader is great is because they can be open to changing their mind when confronted by big moral questions, take Abe Lincoln for example. I'm not holding my breath.
this is interesting to me too. feels like a leftist idea to be pushing for communities built on walkability and interaction with neighbors. but i don’t know shit i’m new to this sort of stuff but want to learn more 🤷♂️
