Résumé
Jane Jacobs's book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" created a revolution in the early 1960's, affecting city planning and architecture and the way we think about how life is lived in packed urban centers. This was an… era when the urban renewal movement was at its most aggressive, and Jacobs correctly perceived that the new structures that were being built to replace the aging housing of our older cities were often far worse. Her ideas quickly took hold, and no one ever looked at what made for liveable and viable neighbourhoods the same way again. Grades 5-8. 2009.
