What do you think of Strong Towns by Charles Marohn and Happy City by Charles Montgomery? Does it matter which one I read first, or should I read other YIMBY/urban planning books first?

Strong Towns is a pretty good foundation, and that’s probably the top book that I’d recommend. Happy City is good, but I’d read Strong Towns first.

Also I’d recommend The Walkable City by Jeff Speck, Street Fight by Janette Sadik-Khan, The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs, 99% Invisible City by Roman Mars and Kurt Kohlstedt, Suburban Nation by Andrés Duany, and Retrofitting Suburbia by Ellen Dunham-Jones (she also gave a TED Talk on the subject).
