Next stop on the Blueprint America: Beyond the Motor City community screening tour: Indianapolis! Director Aaron Woolf comes to the Crossroads of America with an eye toward transit reform.

PROFILES FROM THE RECESSION, a collection of BLUEPRINT AMERICA video and transcribed reports from the field, looks at recovery from this Recession with stories on transportation and the country's infrastructure (its planning, design, and livability).

This month, Blueprint America: Beyond the Motor City makes its way across the country in a community screening initiative spanning more than 30 cities, more than 20 states, and countless up-close encounters with our nation's urban transit and infrastructure systems. Director Aaron Woolf gives us a window into his travels with the film. Today's stop: St. Louis!

The transportation question on Capitol Hill: What is rural livability? Unlike urban or suburban living, each of which give rise to instant and consistent images within us, rural life is hard to pigeonhole into one set typology, says Gary Toth, Project for Public Spaces, and Hannah Twaddell, Renaissance Planning Group, in an op-ed on how we develop all of our country in the 21st Century.
