Strong Towns is a nonprofit organization and international movement that aims to help communities become financially strong and resilient. It offers research, educational content, and practical tools to assist local leaders, planners, engineers, and residents in understanding the financial realities behind growth, transportation, housing, and infrastructure decisions. The work highlights the long-term fiscal impact of development choices and supports a shift from fragile growth patterns toward financially sustainable, safer, and more productive streets and neighborhoods. Its audience includes local elected officials, public administrators, planners, engineers, development professionals, advocates, and residents seeking neighborhood improvements, and it reaches millions of people each year through articles, podcasts, training programs, events, and community engagement. Based in the United States in the North and South Carolina region, Strong Towns operates as a small nonprofit, and a recent collaboration with the City of Ann Arbor's Department of Parks and Recreation saw it host a public Crash Analysis Studio in April 2026.
