Summary:
In Walking in the
City
with Jane, award-winning author Susan Hughes tells the fictionalized story of Jane Jacobs through a celebration of
city
life
and grassroots activism. Even as a young girl, Jane was an independent thinker with an extraordinary imagination and sense of wonder. She was known to challenge her teacher and was often found playing with her imaginary friends, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Cedric the warrior. Always curious and engaged by her surroundings, Jane grew up to be an exceptional woman who cared deeply about her
city
. When urban planner Robert Moses proposed an expressway to cut across Manhattan, Jane rallied the local community to save the neighbourhood and even got arrested for standing up for her beliefs. Gorgeously illustrated by Valérie Boivin, Walking in the
City
with Jane offers a glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest urban thinkers whose influence on cities is still felt today.
