Does Strong Towns maintain an index of certified strong cities, towns, and communities?

No. The Strong Towns approach is a process that places must commit to every day, not a certification you can achieve. Check out our examples and case studies, as well as the winners of our annual Strongest Town contest, to get inspired by the projects and places that have used the Strong Towns approach to create real change.

A “strong town” is any town, big or small, that prioritizes making progress in transportation, housing, and fiscal resiliency for the long-term benefit of its people. It is not a “perfect” town, nor does every strong town look the same. This is because strong towns incrementally adapt to the conditions and challenges of their specific place from the bottom up.
