Sometimes I dream big. When I do, I dream of communities that welcome everyone. Places where people of all abilities can live, work and get around. Rights of way that are safe and accessible to folks with a range of mobility needs.
Interested in what it's like to navigate streets as a wheelchair user, what works and what doesn't? Check out my guest blog posting -- Complete Street with Inclusive Design -- on Strong Towns. Strong Towns supports a model of development that allows America's cities, towns and neighborhoods to become financially strong and resilient.
Professional Engineer and Urban Planner Chuck Marohn is the primary author of the Strong Towns Blog, and the host of the Strong Towns Podcast and See it Differently TV. He has a vision of the urban environment that I share and he writes beautifully. He's also a darn nice guy.
Check out the whole Strong Towns website. It's an intuitively designed site chock full of fascinating food for thought on urban planning.
