Jane Jacobs

Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was a writer and urban activist who promoted new community approaches to planning for over 40 years. Her 1961 treatise, "The Death and Life of Great American Cities", became one of the most influential American texts on the inner workings and shortcomings of cities, inspiring generations of urban planners and activists. Her efforts to stop downtown highways and protect local neighborhoods spurred community urban activism and helped end the reign of New York City's Park Commissioner, Robert Moses.
