SE VIENE LA CAMINATA JANE JACOBS!!! Como todos los años, en el 1º finde de mayo, se organizan alrededor del mundo las caminatas de Jane Jacobs en el fin de semana de su cumpleaños, y obvio que Buenos Aires no va a quedar afuera! Este seria nuestro 3º año organizandola, pero lo que lo hace REALMENTE especial, es que este año Jane cumpliría 100 años!! Había que conmemorar su cumpleaños y su legado con una fiesta urbana! Este año la caminata se organiza en conjunto con los genios de Un árbol para mi vereda con su proyecto Juntos somos un BOSQUE (Plantación Colectiva). Vamos a recorrer el legado de Jane a traves de nuestra percepción de la ciudad y después vamos a hacer una plantación colectiva para dejar nuestro propio legado en la ciudad. La caminata para repensar la ciudad y la plantación para actuar en ella. 7 de mayo, 15hs, Polo Cientifico Tecnologico (Godoy Cruz 2320, entre Paraguay y Soler)

Bring your phone or camera to snap pics along Upperline St. An old market, corner stores and the hidden river just beyond Tchoupitoulas St. are a few things that make this quintessential New Orleans.

Markers along Parrish St. tell the history of African American social, economic, and political progress in the face of racial discrimination. Walk the path that true pioneering black men and women continue to build to prosperity. Questions to ponder: From Reconstruction to Civil Rights: How did Black Wall St. flourish when similarly prosperous black communities like the original Black Wall St. of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma were burned to the ground? From tobacco factory work to black enterprise: What were the connections of black enterprises like NC Mutual and Mechanics and Farmer's Bank to BIG tobacco? From Urban Renewal to Black Lives Matter: In the wake of Durham's latest re-development, what is the future and role of black institutions on Parrish St. and in greater Durham today?

We will have a walking discussion about the evolution of the corridor from German immigration to the Civil Rights movement to Hurricane Katrina and beyond. The event will highlight recent revitalization successes and how they respect the rich history, which has molded this cultural corridor.

Folkways and Kilbourne Group will be hosting a walk to explore downtown and observe the key ingredients for a walkable city. This event is being held on what would have been Jane Jacobs 100th birthday. Jacobs 1961 book "Death and Life of Great American Cities" changed the conversation for city design. She proposed that a city needs four ingredients to be exuberant: mixed uses, short blocks, buildings that vary in age and condition, and a dense concentration of people. This walk will explore those design elements in downtown Fargo.

Come find out about GreenBike bikeshare in Salt Lake City! We will also ride along the 300 South Bike Lane and try out the new protected bicycle intersection!

Have you ever wondered why manhole covers have the patterns they do? What about the shape of the bicycle rack you use every day? The width of the sidewalk outside your favorite coffee shop? Walk with us as we explore the almost invisible physical design features of downtown that are essential to the functioning of Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

Students from the City in Literature class at the University of Utah will walk and talk after reading Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Instructors Mike Maloy and Mark McGrath will lead the walk
