Safe & Productive Streets
Strong Towns argues that streets should be places where people can safely spend time, build relationships, and support homes and businesses. Street design matters because the physical environment strongly influences how people drive; a street designed like a highway will encourage highway-like speeds regardless of the posted limit.
The organization also emphasizes that streets are long-term municipal liabilities because they require ongoing spending on maintenance, repair, lighting, snow clearing, and other services. A financially productive street therefore needs enough nearby economic activity and property value to help support those costs over time.
Incremental Development
A central Strong Towns idea is that communities should grow through many small, incremental investments rather than depending on a few large, transformative projects. This approach allows neighbourhoods to adapt gradually, learn from what works, and respond to changing local needs without placing everything on one expensive bet.
That same philosophy appears in Strong Towns’ approach to housing and neighbourhood development. Rather than treating a community as permanently “built out,” Strong Towns encourages cities to allow the next modest increment of development, creating opportunities for existing neighbourhoods to evolve over time.
Financial Resilience
Strong Towns places municipal finance at the centre of its approach to city-building. Growth is not automatically beneficial if the taxes and economic activity produced by new development are insufficient to maintain the infrastructure and public obligations that come with it.
The goal is to build places that can remain financially resilient over the long term rather than depending on continuous expansion, outside grants, or future growth to cover existing commitments. Strong Towns encourages communities to understand their actual financial position, make better use of infrastructure they already have, and invest in places capable of supporting themselves over time.

Setting the image height to 350 seems to be a sweet spot between cropping off too much and taking up too much vertical space on the web page.
