A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

This manual aims to present a broad coverage of urban finance, and describe the techniques of urban financial analysis. The manual is designed to provide only the core material for courses on urban financial management and should be supplemented with material relating to the specific conditions of the countries of the participants. This manual is divided into four chapters. Chapter one provides an overview of key issues in urban finance and introduces a framework for urban financial analysis; chapter 2 focuses on revenues and addresses the questions of how and from where government authorities can mobilize the resources required to finance the provision of urban services and the development and maintenance of urban infrastructure; chapter 3 examines expenditure analysis and addresses the question of how to spend more wisely; and chapter 4 discusses private participation in the delivery of urban services, forms of private sector involvement, and the role of nongovernment organizations and community groups. The report closes with a case study on private participation in public services and functions (solid waste disposal) in Malaysia.
