The OPPI On-line Book Club will soon be starting our next book, Walkable City Rules: 101 Steps to Making Better Places by Jeff Speck. This book is available in hard copy, e-reader, or audio book formats. Please note this book was published in 2018, and is not to be confused with the author’s previous book from 2013. We will start reading the book in the final week of October.
Please note the book club will be transitioning from our previous home on Linked In to OPPI’s new Planners Connect platform. Our format on the new platform will be very similar to the Linked In group with weekly discussions and a wrap-up Zoom discussion at the end of the book. New or existing book club members are invited to read along with us and to join in the discussions on Planners Connect.
We look forward to the coming read and some great discussions.
