Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was a writer who for more than forty years championed innovative, community-based approaches to urban planning. Her 1961 treatise The Death and Life of Great American Cities became perhaps the most influential text about the inner workings and failings of cities, inspiring generations of planners and activists.
A wonderful new anthology that captures [Jacobs'] confident prose and her empathetic, patient eye for the way humans live and work together. * The Globe and Mail *
