Chuck Marohn will give a public presentation on the evening of February 20, hosted by the City of West Palm Beach. 

In this presentation, Chuck explains, in plain language, how so many American cities have found themselves in decline after decades of “growth.” The problem lies in the current model of development — one which values short-term gains over long-term prosperity. To strengthen our cities and ensure their economic success, we must look to traditional ways of building cities. Chuck will also discuss how active citizens, local officials and design professionals can change the negative trajectory in their towns and help them to become more resilient — no matter what challenges lie ahead.
