Jane Jacobs, the author of "The Death and Life of Great American Cities, " talks about the problems of the city and why she thinks that they were created. She states, "This book is an attack on current city planning and rebuilding. It is an attack, rather, on the principles and aims that have shaped modern, orthodo city planning and rebuilding." It is an interesting topic and I believe Jean Jacobs lets the reader understand her perspective right from the beginning in the introduction whn letting the reader know what she is talking about when she speaks about the city.
It is unfortunate that Jean Jacobs is no longer with us, but her legacy lives on. http://creativitymachine.net/2006/04/26/the-death-and-life-of-a-great-urban-crusader/
