Strong Towns NanaimoStrong Towns Nanaimo advocates for a new approach to urban planning and development that is financially resilient, sustainable, and equitable. We are a grassroots organization that is not affiliated with the City of Nanaimo. Everyone deserves to live in an affordable, equitable, and financially secure city. Decades of auto-oriented, sprawling development have left their mark on Nanaimo, leading to expensive housing, unproductive urban spaces, and unsafe streets. Together, we can advocate for a city built around people, not automobiles.
