Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York
In conjunction with a new exhibition, Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York, eight walking tours will take participants to places associated with Jane Jacobs’ life and work and to communities that illustrate her planning principles — or call them into question.
Greenpoint: Transforming a Working Class Haven
Near the end of her life, Jane Jacobs was outspoken against the rezoning of Greenpoint’s waterfront. Is this working-class neighborhood a victim of its own success?
Leader: Francis Morrone, architectural historian.
