One of the most important urban planners of our time is Jane Jacobs, whose stature continues to grow in tandem with the growing interest in that great human invention: cities.
Here you can read the biography of this true revolutionary in urban planning, someone who loved and understood the city like few others in her time, and whose main book, “The Death and Life of Great American Cities,” published in 1961, remains an amazing source of ideas on a multitude of aspects that affect and govern a city: economy, safety, habitat, traffic, governance, planning, and participation.
