DOWNLOAD EBOOKA new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics “Bursting with insights.” —The New York Times Book Review A pioneering urban economist presents a myth-shattering look at the majesty and greatness of cities America is an urban nation, yet cities get a bad rap: they're dirty, poor, unhealthy, environmentally unfriendly . . . or are they? In this revelatory book, Edward Glaeser, a leading urban economist, declares that cities are actually the healthiest, greenest, and richest (in both cultural and economic terms) places to live. He travels through history and around the globe to reveal the hidden workings of cities and how they bring out the best in humankind. Using intrepid reportage, keen analysis, and cogent argument, Glaeser makes an urgent, eloquent case for the city's importance and splendor, offering inspiring proof that the city is humanity's greatest creation and our best hope for the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnjoy this second chance, rich/poor, emotional, small-town treasure hunt romance by author Frances Dall'Alba set in both Australia and a small village in southern Italy. Hidden treasures ? broken spirits ? tangled love. Sassy and stubborn, Liz Emerson has always done it tough. Raised by her grandparents, there?s only her nan left. With her finances tight and her career on hold, when a bundle of cash comes her way, she?s already allocated it to sensible and practical costs, not for what it?s intended. Fiercely proud and loyal, billionaire Connor Levorico has always followed the principals of his hardworking grandfather. On the night of his death, his grandfather reveals one final secret and Connor makes a promise. Connor and Liz find themselves on the same reckless path, looking for buried heirloom jewels, in a tiny out of the way village in southern Italy. Except, neither knows the other is on the same mission, and the unexpected heat building up between them will only cause trouble if they don?t tell each other the truth. This modern-day treasure hunt turns dangerous when a third person joins the search. It comes to a futile end when the truth blows up, leaving Liz badly hurt and Connor forced to return home to a family emergency. But not even Connor?s wealth can prepare him for the sudden change that will impact his life forever. As he claws his way out of the darkness, the lure of the jewels won?t go away. Can Connor convince Liz to return for one more shot at finding the jewels? He?s prepared to risk everything, even his heart, bargaining a no-strings-attached arrangement to ensure she agrees. Liz fights back, not sure who to trust. Her heart was left in tatters last time. Why would she risk it again?

For fans of Melanie Harlow, Kristen Proby and Georgia Le Carre, books by Frances Dall'Alba are filled with romance, emotion, passion, love, second chances, friends to lovers, mystery and intrigue, might contain some ugly-cry, will contain some steamy scenes, and will always end happily. They are Australian themed and set in amazing Australian locations.
