Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity by Charles L. Marohn Jr.

3.0

I generally agree with what he envisions as a successful city -- empowered citizens that shape their own environments, tightknit communities, principles of good urbanism, human-centered design, wealth creation > mindless growth, etc. However it's hard to take him seriously when he's not citing anything of intellectual rigor (Jared Diamond as a primary source??), not engaging with cases where his proposals become more complicated or with real counter arguments, going on random digressions, employing overly simplistic unnecessary analogies, and generally not going into any grounded depth.
