Strong Towns is "not meant to be actionable"? The whole modus operandi of ST is bottom-up change from local chapters of advocates who organize for change at the local level [1]. The organization develops things like the Crash Analysis Studio, which is a structured model for local citizens and municipalities to respond to car crashes in a similar way to aircraft crashes, and redesign streets to prevent further deaths [2]. Here's a panel for a city I lived in, Ottawa [3].
As for NJB, he's abrasive and I don't agree with everything he says or how he says it, but he does talk a lot about his past advocacy work with the local government on Toronto. He encourages action, but I don't understand what he's supposed to do here, make videos for specific local advocacy of every large city in the world?
