Some recommended reading from Scot Bathgate – and it’s downloadable for free.
What It’s About and Who It’s For
It’s about business, but not business-as-usual. It’s about cities, but not the big ones. It’s about people. What kind of people?

It’s about regular people who want to live in walkable communities and strengthen a local economy. It’s about the dreamers….and the doers.
Skip the text and download it just for the photos! It’s filled with the award-winning photography by Pat Jarrett.
