Jane's Walk: Phoenix

  • 101 East Washington Street Phoenix, AZ, 85004 United States (map)

Jane Jacobs became one of America's most famed urbanists after preventing highways from carving up Manhattan and authoring "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". Few have been so central to our understanding of why walkable neighborhoods are so important, and how they are formed. Every spring, people around the nation host "Jane's Walks" in her honor.

The Urban Phoenix Project's 6th annual "Jane's Walk: Phoenix" will explore parts of downtown's Warehouse District that will be affected by the exciting new light rail line being planned down Central Avenue into South Phoenix.

Meet up at Block 23 (the block east of CityScape). More detailed meeting instructions TBA. The walk will end nearby at a local watering hole so we can continue the conversation informally.

In celebration of Jane's Walk "Month," we'll take a walk through downtown Phoenix highlighting the new and old residential areas that make up our city. The walk will take a path through the Roosevelt Row Arts District, an area currently booming with new residential projects, as well as walking past some of the first residential spaces of the area.
