Date: 3/31/2011
Time: 6:30pm
Address: Museum of the City of New York
1220 Fifth Avenue
NY , New York
Fifty years after publishing The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs is perhaps the most widely read urbanist ever. She transformed urban planning and with it our cities and neighborhoods. And yet, we no longer live in the world of Death and Life, even as urbanists of all political persuasions claim Jacobs's mantle and all but deify her.
Max Page, co-editor of Reconsidering Jane Jacobs (APA Planners Press, 2011), along with urban planners, historians, and critics go beyond the usual discussion of Jacobs and take an unsentimental look at her continuing relevance—or lack thereof—to planning in New York today.
