Curbside Chat: A candid talk about the future of America's cities, towns and neighborhoods.

Strong Towns has taken the content from their popular Curbside Chat program and put it into a booklet formatted specifically for public officials and change advocates. "Our problem was not, and is not, a lack of growth. Our problem is sixty years of unproductive growth. The American pattern of development does not create real wealth; it creates the illusion of wealth. Today we are in the process of seeing that illusion destroyed and with it the prosperity we have come to take for granted." (Curbside Chat, page 5) Curbside Chat covers the entire Strong Towns presentation including case studies, dead ideas and transition strategies.
