Friends of Flagstaff’s Future (F3) presenting ‘Creating a Stronger Flagstaff In-person Presentation and Q&A with Edward Erfurt, Strong Towns’ on Nov. 13

Creating a Stronger Flagstaff

In-person Presentation and Q&A

with Edward Erfurt, Strong Towns

I’m excited to tell you about the second event in our Community Speaker Series: “Creating a Stronger Flagstaff” featuring Edward Erfurt from the national organization Strong Towns. This event is free and open to everyone who wants to learn how we can work together to create a more livable and affordable Flagstaff.

Mr. Erufurt is the Chief Technical Advisor at Strong Towns and a trained architect and urban designer. He will talk about community-focused city processes, zoning codes, and development patterns that result in more affordable housing, sustainable development patterns, walkability, and public transit that results in thriving neighborhoods and communities.

F3’s Community Speaker Series has a focus on bringing knowledgeable individuals to speak to residents in the lead up to Flagstaff citizens voting in May 2026 on the Regional Land Use Plan 2045. The City of Flagstaff’s Land Use Plan 2045 incorporates new and innovative elements, tools, and strategies that can increase the livability, affordability, and resilience of our city as our community faces affordable housing and climate emergencies.

This speaker is knowledgeable about how cities throughout the country are working to address these concerns. This event will help educate the Flagstaff community about these strategies and how, with our help, they can help shape Flagstaff into a stronger and more responsive city.
