What would Monocle look like it if it was a small-format magazine based out of Adelaide? Well, we reckon that it might look a little bit like Collect.

A fascinating and unique example of a 'glocal' new urbanism, Collect loosely concerns itself with issues of about our shared environment and the cities that we live in.

They say, "We believe the future is small. Worldwide, the hyper-local is gaining importance, and the car-fuelled tomorrow is grinding to a halt. Small cities - and the small cities within cities - are re-emphasising the importance of community. People are returning to the corner store - and that's where you'll find us."

Issue #7 includes: a look at a street of small business defying the threat of online retail in Adelaide's Ebenezer block, a visit to bespoke Sydney tailor P. Jonhson, a Q&A with Monocle magazine's Tyler Brule and a look at an East London recycled furniture shop.

Absolutely one of our favourite discoveries of the last year.
