Are you a citizen working to move your neighbors away from “NIMBY” to “YIMBY” (Yes in my backyard)? Do you need to make the case to local officials for more walkable, lively neighborhoods? Build a Better Burb can help you suggest better planning to improve the lives of people in your community.

We know that planners and urbanists couch even their best ideas in jargon–a real turn-off for busy people who aren’t trained in those professions. In everyday language, Build a Better Burb offers examples and background on how diverse and connected suburbs help make peoples’ lives better, improve the economy, and create better places for our children.
