Season 4: Ep 4: Jane Jacobs and the challenges of city planning.

In this episode of Light Cities and Architecture, we explore the legacy of urbanist and writer Jane Jacobs and her 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.

Jacobs’ work challenged the planning ideologies of her time—rejecting top-down zoning, soulless high-rises, and sweeping expressways in favour of cities shaped organically by the people who live in them.

Her ideas have influenced generations of urban planners and architects, but do they still have relevance today?
