    AWP Podcast Episode 3: Chuck Marohn on Building Strong Towns and Rich Lives

    Chuck Marohn is the founder of the non-profit, Strong Towns, an organization designed to making communities across America and Canada financially strong and resilient. He is also the author of several books, the most recent of which is Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild America. While municipal development is not a topic I ever thought I would become interested in, Chuck persuaded me that it is something everyone should be concerned about. What I found particularly interesting about Chuck's take on development is that he draws on the same core concept I did for AWP: that the ancients have something to teach us. He believes that this idea can guide us in building strong, resilient, and desirable towns and cities that are not only sustainable long-term, but can help up flourish as human beings.
