Jane Jacobs RIP
Jane Jacobs passed away overnight. She was just shy of 90 years old. She was an author and community activist and a true hero of mine. Anyone who has read "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" has been transformed by her ideas about urban planning.
When she was appointed as an officer to the Order of Canada in 1996, her citation said "By stimulating discussion, change and action, she has helped to make Canadian city streets and neighbourhoods vibrant, liveable and workable for all." Bravo Jane.
