Citizen urban planners take to Vancouver streets in honour of Jane Jacobs
Jane’s Walk honours the legacy and ideas of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs who championed the interests of local residents at a time when scale models and grand visions of the future removed designers from the experience of the city by foot. The walks help knit people together into strong and resourceful communities, instilling belonging and encouraging civic leadership.
Everyone can attend a Jane’s Walk and all tours are free of charge.

Yours isn’t on the map?
I love the bimodal distribution on that map – the two “Centres” of Metro are the two most walkable communities. Kudos to Yuri and Mary for being local organizers.
