May Book Club | "The Unfinished Metropolis" | Strong Towns Chicago

Join us in Logan Square on Sunday, March 29th at 11AM as we discuss The Unfinished Metropolis: Igniting the City-Building Revolution by Benjamin Schneider.

Schneider argues that city-building in America is a lost art. From freeways and office parks to single-family sprawl and shopping malls, the country keeps pursuing the same mid-20th century development plans while housing costs soar, transit stalls, and communities fray. Through conversations with urban designers, planners, and advocates, The Unfinished Metropolis explores how these forms came to be, why they no longer serve us, and what a bolder, more livable future could look like.

"The nation that pioneered the building of the modern city has forgotten how to dream big and who it was building cities for."

Whether you've finished the book or just started, all are welcome. Come curious, bring your thoughts, and enjoy the conversation.
