Rachel Quednau's article on suburban insolvency is really on point https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/7/24/busting-4-common-myths-about-the-suburbs

Connected to this question is another oldie-but-goodie on maintaining a focus on the impacts of the suburban experiment (not on 'sprawl' as a nebulous concept) https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/4/17/sprawl-is-not-the-problem

Our door is wide open once a week for Strong Towns members to come and discuss how to build resilience and prosperity in their communities. Each week will focus on a different topic with a member of the Strong Towns team. The tone is casual and conversational. Drop in late if you need to; you’ll be just as welcome.

Wednesdays at 1 p.m. ET on Zoom

Submit your questions and ideas for topics in advance as you register, or ask them on the fly. Just so you know, pre-submitted questions and topics will be given priority during the conversation.
