In the Strong America presentation, Strong Towns president and founder Charles L. Marohn, Jr. will highlight some of the most powerful stories of his book Strong Towns: A Bottom Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity, and use those insights to highlight a path to community prosperity that’s as unique as our City of Duluth.
Using an innovative, hands-on approach, the Strong America presentation begins by showcasing why so many towns in North America are struggling financially despite decades of robust growth, and then invites the audience to “choose their own adventure” from a range of presentation tracks and go deeper into just one area where their unique community can make a change today. Designed to be dynamic and bespoke to each town, the Strong America presentation is part community conversation, part lecture from an expert, and the catalyst you need for your place to become financially stronger.
This event will be followed by a book signing with the author, and We Walk in Duluth will host a follow-up community conversation in the weeks following the book tour event, to engage community members and decision-makers alike in applying Strong Towns principals locally in some of Duluth’s most pressing issues, such as affordable housing and economic development.
Books will be available for sale on site from Zenith Bookstore. We would like to thank our generous sponsors, who have made this event possible: Zeitgeist Community, CF Design Ltd, and the University of Minnesota Duluth Department of Geography and Philosophy.
