Welcome to the Strong Towns Langley Library

Our library brings together resources from our own research, publications, and community initiatives, alongside recommended reads and case studies we've explored. You'll find our white papers on local issues, educational materials on urban planning principles, interactive maps of Langley, case studies from around the world, and practical tools to help build a more resilient, people-oriented community. This collection represents both our original work and valuable resources we've found beneficial for understanding and implementing positive change in our region.
