Jane Jacobs showed us that showing up imperfectly is exactly what the moment demands. She didn’t have a title, credentials, or anyone’s permission. What she had was vision, clarity, and the courage to speak up. Without her, we’d be decades behind in understanding what makes cities thrive. You can love her, hate her, or disagree with her. She was human. But the one thing you can’t do is ignore her. #janejacobs #cities #urbanplanning #urbanism #urbandesign #cityplanning #carculture #nyc #History #robertmoses
