Hosted by Heart of the City and presented by Strong Towns and Jeff Speck, a nationally-recognized expert on building walk-friendly, people-oriented places. His book, Walkable City, is beloved by planners, leaders and residents of cities big and small; and his planning firm, Speck & Associates, works in communities across the country.

As part of Strong Towns' ongoing conversation about slowing cars and creating safer streets, Jeff Speck will take part in a live webcast hosted by Strong Towns President Charles Marohn. Marohn and Speck will discuss the need to slow down cars and focus on creating great places for people in our cities and towns. They'll also talk about practical ways to take action to make this a reality in your community, whether you're an elected official, a city planner or just someone who cares about the future of your neighborhood.

Participants are invited into an open Q&A following the initial discussion.

Please join Heart of the City at the Dwight Foster Public Library, 209 Merchants Avenue, in the Lorrine Niedecker Room to listen to the webinar and have a local discussion. For more information, please contact Frankie Fuller at 608.445.0809. The Webinar also will be posted to the Strong Towns website after it is over.
