Subject: Jane Jacobs dies
Prof. Farber....
IP readers may want to know that urban critic Jane Jacobs has passed
away at age 89.
Her 1961 book, "The Death and Live of American Cities" took on New
York's Robert Moses and his ilk of uber urban planners. She was
perhaps the first, and certainly one of the best, advocates for small
neighborhoods within cities...places where stores, restaurants,
parks, schools, and housing for all levels of income can all co-exist.
