Year Ago, Today...

1 Comments Published by fix buffalo on 4/25/2007 at 12:47 PM.

One year has passed since we learned about the death of Jane Jacobs (1916 - 2006).

Jane Jacobs

If you haven't read The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961) you should! Make sure to check out the Wikipedia entry for Jane Jacobs! Great links.

Great lady ahead of her time!

Her work should be required reading for all future city leaders.

Perhaps we should send a copy to Mayor Brown.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
