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.

Walk the Amazon Mile from the Hilyard Center to Tugman Park.

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.

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.

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.
