Description
Thirteen writers reflect on the groundbreaking work of Jane Jacobs, whose critiques of urban renewal in America remain highly relevant today. This anthology includes essays addressing topics such as her emphasis on cities of relationships rather than cities of things, diversity and market value, gentrification, and the importance of small movements. The contributors explore urgent questions about how we build communities and cities, and how we can live together in them. The book provides a reassessment of Jacobs' pioneering research in the context of contemporary urban and political realities. Pages: 297; Binding: Hardcover
