Essays on Jane Jacobs

Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) gained international recognition with her groundbreaking book The Death and Life of Great American Cities and became a prominent political activist. But despite early worldwide attention, she remains unknown to many. Jacob's written work has unusual breadth to it, with eight books ranging from economics and ecology to politics and social philosophy, taking on the whole mystery of society. In this anthology, 13 writers consider unique aspects of Jacobs, reassessing her work in the context of our contemporary reality.
