Good Walking - Bad Aibling, Germany

When People think of small towns, they often think of places that can only be reached by car and which are boring or devoid of things to do. Some places do things differently, however. Many small towns have maintained a dense core, allowing for walkability, interesting shops/restaurants, and a greater quality of life. This video is the story of one such downtown and how a Strong Towns model of incremental growth has helped it achieve better walkability. I love this small town, enough to move here actually, and I was interested to learn from family how the town has slowly changed its downtown to be better for people to walk and cycle. It isn't perfect, but it's getting there and that makes this very applicable for my US audience as well! Rural Towns don't have to Suck. Also, I recently launched a Patreon to provide a place for our community to grow. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to join the Rural Urbanist Community!!! I'll be posting Patreon-only updates, early access to upcoming videos, and will recognize Patrons in the video credits. We honestly have a lot in common and I look forward to interacting with you on Patreon!!!   / theruralurbanist   Finally, I've had an Instagram for the past few months where I put many of the stills that I cannot use in my videos.
