In the Weeds Book Discussion
The book discusses urban design and will help us dig deeper into why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles along and how cities can focus on bottom-up investments to strengthen the community financially and improve people's quality of life.
We will meet in Rocca Meeting Room (1st Floor) of Mead Public Library. Snack and refreshments will be provided.
The book is available for purchase at the Green Bicycle Co. shop or the audiobook is available through Libro.fm or check out your independent book shop of choice! Mead Public library options are shown below.
Join us for a discussion of the book including its overarching themes and principals and how these methods can be strategically applied to the City of Sheboygan. We invite organizations to share their work with opportunities for discussion and feedback.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Heather Cleveland via email at heather@greenbicycleco.com and place “Strong Towns” in the subject line.
RSVP is not required but helpful! If you plan to join us, please complete the form below.
