Short Film NIght: "Jane Jacobs in her own words"

To kickstart Jane’s Walk weekend: we present a series of interviews
with renowned journalist and author. Jane Jacobs’ “Death and Life of
Great American Cities” is a classic and scathing criticism of the way
urban planning was conducted in 1960’s. Three interviews with Jacobs
will be presented and a discussion with the audience as to how it
relates to the West End and the exhibit will follow. Jacobs discusses
urban planning in Toronto and Montreal, the similarities between
economies and nature, and her book “Dark Age Ahead.” Programming Chair,
Kimberly Whitaker, will lead the discussion.


Pre-registration is required and available at http://thewestendmuseum.org/whats_on/event-registration/
