I was sad to learn about the death of Jane Jacobs last week.
Her books and approach were (and continue to be) significant influences on me, particularly when I seek to understand how communities work. What damage can be done by (often well-meaning) politicians, developers, financiers and industrialists.
How to keep remembering the humanity that is, and should remain, at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you Jane Jacobs.
Calcutta honoured Jane Jacobs this year. Maybe you’d like to write about it.
