What do you do when your community’s growing faster than your zoning code can keep up? When permits pile up, tempers run high, and your five-year plan starts feeling like a museum piece? In this episode, we dig into the chaos of “unexpected growth” and how smart cities hit pause without hitting the panic button. From phantom infrastructure strain to burnout-proofing your staff, we talk strategy, sanity, and how a well-timed reset can turn disorder into momentum. This isn’t about slamming the brakes. It’s about relearning how to drive.
