Don’t you just love learning something new? I didn’t already know about Jane Jacobs. I now want to read her books. Though unknown to me before, I suspect her legacy was passed down to me through my college Art and Architecture class. Since college, my husband and I have done a bit of walking around city areas, admiring unique spots, whether they are from views, structures or human life. Though I have to admit less walking with the kids. Some, but less. I was particularly struck by the areas she saved from demolition. Less surprised by the fact that she prevailed, because her perspective totally made sense.
