Episode Details

Contemporary urbanists continue to find inspiration in the ideas crafted, tested and authored by American-Canadian activist Jane Jacobs more than fifty years ago.

Mary Rowe revisits some of Jane's visionary work with two fellow devotees - Toronto environmental writer Lloyd Alter and former Toronto mayor John Sewell - and how it's as timely as ever to Canada's rapidly-shifting economy.
