build or die


Why are so many American cities struggling to build enough housing, provide reliable transportation and deliver on the promise of urban life?

Join SPUR for a conversation with Ned Resnikoff, urban policy analyst and journalist, and Lori Droste, SPUR’s Planning and Housing Policy Director, about Resnikoff’s new book, Build or Die: How America Is Suffocating Its Cities and What to Do About It. Tracing a century of policy decisions that have shaped today’s cities, Resnikoff explores how we got here and what it will take to create places that work better for everyone. From building more homes and investing in transit to making local government more accountable, he makes the case for a new approach to urban growth—one that makes cities more affordable, sustainable and equitable.

Drawing on the work of urban reformers and advocates across the country, Resnikoff offers a path forward for cities and the people who call them home.
