The Levee Breach Bike Tour, inspired by Jane Jacobs Walk, encourages people to come together outside their cars and learn more about the worst civil engineering disaster in US history. Participants tour the 83 breaches of the levees around New Orleans, which flooded the city as Hurricane Katrina subsided. Cyclists can view the breach sites and also the neighborhoods affected by the Army Corps of Engineers levee design mistakes.
The bike tour – guided by Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal – follows marked bike routes. The 90-minute tour begins at City Park and follows scenic Bayou St. John to the Levee Exhibit Hall & Garden and Relic Flooded House at the east breach of the London Avenue Canal. Next is several points of interest and a second breach site on the west side of the canal. The final stop is a permanent pump station. From here, cyclists can bike back to City Park or depart the tour and perhaps ride along the Lakefront.

Have you noticed that the night sky looks different in urban versus rural areas? Do you miss seeing starry skies in your city? Join the Consortium for Dark Sky Studies and Dark Sky SLC for a Jane Jacobs Walk exploring the effects of lighting design in our cities and how you can help bring back the stars in your own neighborhood. We will walk downtown and learn about the types of lighting that contribute to dark sky conservation. Throughout this walking conversation, we’ll examine how lighting design effects urban ecosystems; including animals, public health and safety, public policy, ecological conservation, education and outreach.

We will start at Sidney All Care Residence and head to the Lochside Trail, down the new chip trail to the Calvin Ave entrance to Rathdown Park, east through the pedstrian cutthrough near Cleveland Ave, winding down to Resthaven Rd and ending at Fish O' Chips (stay for refreshment with the group optional).

The walk will be looking at several types of park and pedestrian amenities found in the north part of Sidney, which connect us through our neighborhood in different ways; Sidney's bounded geography and increasing population means we can't increase the amount of park space set aside, but we can look for the potentials we can see to creatively use and increase greenery, natural habitats and human-nature interaction in the spaces we already have.

The Sunday walk is in partnership Enough Pie and Charleston Moves, as part of their month-long Awakening: MOTION community arts program.

When you think of a city you like, what comes to mind? Can a city be a work of art? How do parked cars serve pedestrians? Most of the interaction among people, bikes, and cars is unplanned. How does that happen? Why do people gather in some places and avoid others? Is it possible to create a neighborhood from the ground up? What is a “public space”? How can the design of public space promote or retard social interaction?

The beautiful and historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights offers excellent examples of Jane Jacobs’s principles of urban diversity in action. Beginning at the steps of Brooklyn¹s Borough Hall, we will stroll through residential and commercial streets while observing and talking about how the physical environment influences social activity and even economic and cultural development, both for good and for ill. We will be stopping at several points of interest, including the famous Promenade, and end near the #2/3 subway and a nice coffeehouse.

Step back in time to the days when agriculture was still King in the Southern Willamette Valley. The fine old collection of buildings at the Farmers' Union still literally carries the feel of the earth, the field and the crops that brought the first pioneers to this valley. Look around at the huge beams, old hoisting machinery and other evidence of its hard-working days providing for the needs of our farmers' coop. Stroll to three vibrant murals springing up nearby.

In honor of the urban birthday celebrations of the urbanist Jane Jacobs and in collaboration with Municipality of Rome 1 Historical Center, we will walk in the beautiful "San Saba" neighborhood and its courtyards to read and look with different eyes at the city and its neighborhoods and what changes around us. "The streets and sidewalks are the most important public places in a city and its most vital organs. When you think of a city, the first thing that comes to mind are its streets: if they appear interesting or insignificant, even the city looks like they "writes Jacobs in the chapter dedicated to the road and the role of what he called" the eye on the road "as awareness of the citizens of their neighborhood and environment. Whose cities are we in and who are they thinking of? Beautiful, ugly, accessible, inclusive, attractive, functional? Who decides what the requalification? Whose streets are those of those who cross them? Interrogandoci on the present and the future of (our) cities and on which idea of ​​development is at the base of the transformations from which they are invested, also under the pressure of the processes of globalization and gentrification.

The act of looking to the past to inform the present has always been central to architecture. At a time when there is too much information and not enough attention, understanding the channels through which history moves and is shaped by architecture is more important than ever.  The relationship between art and architecture is a historical narrative unto itself.
From Jenney, Burnham, Calder and Mies, Picasso to Chagall and Roche-Dinkeloo, Dearborn Street between Congress Parkway and Wacker Drive offers more important architectural diversity and major public sculpture than any other street in the United States. This walk encompasses all of these architectural and artistic ideas.

The Walk will be led by Rolf Achilles, an independent Art Historian who has devoted his life to documenting, writing, talking, teaching, and preserving interiors and their decorative arts in the US and abroad.

Let's talk about power and community. Let's talk about good and bad outcomes at the UO, using judgments that Jane Jacobs encouraged people to use throughout her career. In 1970 the University of Oregon began a radical experiment in campus community-driven planning, known later as The Oregon Experiment. The idea -- proposed by the author of A Pattern Language, Christopher Alexander -- was to improve the quality of the environment by involving the community -- the real experts -- in genuine decision-making. This could lead to beautiful buildings, but Alexander later understood that he had not left enough at the UO to achieve this. We'll briefly train you in the approach he would use today.

The University of Oregon campus has a number of unusual and significant trees. Trees provide a learning tool for students and play an important role in defining the campus character.
