A New Way of Seeing and Understanding NYC
This walk, beginning at the former home of Jane Jacobs, will discuss what could have happened to the area if she had not defeated Robert Moses in building a Lower Manhattan Expressway, urban density and diversity (which Jacobs was highly in favor of), and will look at the type of “sidewalk ballet” that Jacobs viewed from her window.
