Thank you for taking the time to join us for a taste of the Strong Towns 2025 National Gathering. We’re glad you chose to be part of this movement by watching these sessions. The ideas you’ve heard aren’t just concepts for others to debate—they’re tools you can carry into your own community. We encourage you to share what you’ve learned, invite others into the conversation, and, most importantly, take the next smallest step toward addressing the struggles you see around you. Every action, no matter how small, is part of making your town stronger.
