On the Steps of Jane Jacobs: A Walkshop
Jane Jacobs (1916–2006) revolutionized the world of urbanism. She published in 1961 The Death and Life of Great American Cities against the expansion of expressways and roads. Her book became a cornerstone of new urbanism, as it lays the foundation for how human-scaled, people-friendly neighborhoods should be built. In this walk, we’ll look for the elements Jacobs claimed are so important for liveable neighbourhoods. The twist? The tour guide is not a local, and he’s not going to bore you with dry historical details. Instead, he’ll share his knowledge about Urbanism & Jane Jacobs. Together, you will explore Jacob’s principles for better cities function in the Romanian capital.
