Subject: Borrowing Bright Ideas From All Over-- my latest work
To: Jay Walljasper <jay at jaywalljasper.com>

 Dear Friends and Colleagues:

 Over the past year, I wrote a series of four reports for the McKnight
Foundation based on original research about how cities can become thriving,
sustainable, enjoyable places for all.  My specific focus is the
Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan region, where McKnight is based, but
the *bright
ideas and success stories* I turned up could work anywhere.

 This is just one of the exciting projects I’ve worked on recently.  *I’m
chronicling the emergence of the walking movement* for America Walks,
Kaiser Permanente and the Everybody Walk Collaborative.

 I’ve also been fortunate enough to *write and consult about the future of
our communities* for People for Bikes, On the Commons, the St. Paul
Riverfront Corporation, Fresh Energy, Project for Public Spaces, the Will
Steger Wilderness Center and Friends of the Mississippi River.  My work has
appeared *Yes! magazine, Utne Reader, Notre Dame magazine, Huffington Post,
Common Dreams, Des Moines Register, MinnPost, Planetizen, Commons
magazine *(which
I edit)  and many other publications.  I *spoke to a number of groups*
including the Sidore Lecture at Keene State College (NH), the Kansas
Outdoor Summit, the Greater Des Moines Neighborhood Conference and the Road
Scholars program.

 I continue to seek *opportunities to write, consult and speak*. I look
forward to hearing from you at jay at jaywalljasper.com or 612.822.1104.

 Best, Jay
