At the center I run at the University of Chicago, there’s a standing joke. Whenever we’re discussing a new idea related to criminal justice, I either say, “I like that idea!

Aquest és un llibre heterodox tant en el contingut com en la genealogia. La tasca feta per Jane Jacobs, que va veure la llum ara fa més de seixanta anys amb Mort i vida de les grans ciutats, és un dels exercicis més importants de llibertat intel·lectual, desafiament al pensament hegemònic i imaginació política arrelada a la realitat. Probablement això fa que no hagi perdut pas la seva vigència.

This weekend, in hundreds of places around the world, people (including us) will be outside exploring their cities on free walking tours. It’s all part of Jane’s Walk, an annual festival of community-led walks and talks inspired by Jane Jacobs, a writer, urbanist, and activist. We love this weekend so much! The walking tours are all free, led by volunteers.
