WHAT IS DALLAS URBANISTS STLC? We are people who care about making Dallas a more walkable, bike-friendly, transit-oriented, affordable, and vibrant place to live. As a Strong Towns Local Conversation (STLC), we are part of the Strong Towns movement to replace Americaβs postwar pattern of development, the "Suburban Experiment," with a pattern of development that is financially strong and resilient. We advocate for neighborhoods of all sizes in Dallas to be safe, livable and inviting.
