Here for the first time is a thoroughly interdisciplinary and
international examination of Jane Jacobs's legacy. Divided into
four parts: I. Jacobs, Urban Philosopher; II. Jacobs, Urban
Economist; II. Jacobs, Urban Sociologist; and IV. Jacobs, Urban
Designer, the book evaluates the impact of Jacobs's writings and
activism on the city, the professions dedicated to city-building
and, more generally, on human thought. Together, the editors and
contributors highlight the notion that Jacobs's influence goes
beyond planning to philosophy, economics, sociology and design.
They set out to answer such questions as: What explains Jacobs's
lasting appeal and is it justified? Where was she right and where
was she wrong? What were the most important themes she addressed?
And, although Jacobs was best known for her work on cities, is it
correct to say that she was a much broader thinker, a philosopher,
and that the key to her lasting legacy is precisely her exceptional
breadth of thought?
