I think she was right. I love living in the city and being a part of the community.
I like this message. Some people in Toronto need to hear this!
wow. that's awesome.
That quote makes perfect sense.
Certainly.
Wise words Pat.. if only city planners were as forward thinking as Jane Jacobs oui!
Fills the gap perfectly!
People who work to enhance the urban experience are to be praised! Kudos to Ms. Jacobs!
This one is neat. I've been wanting to get a photo of it for ages, but am always driving, and usually in heavy traffic, whenever I've passed by.
Wise words.
Great message!!! Tom The Backroads Traveller
She was a wise woman. A shame the lunatic and his cult of followers currently disparaging the city with their every word can't see that kind of wisdom.
that makes a whole lot of sense.
SIGNS, SIGNS
Great words!
Nice qoute.
Interesting. I had never heard of Jane Jacobs before this. Looking at her website, I see a 'walk' was held in Indianapolis earlier this year. I'm wondering how successful it was.

I've never seen such a long quotation spread out along a wall before. I've never heard of Jane Jacobs so maybe I need to find out a bit more.
Jacobs was a wise woman.
Great find. I am sure the little kiddo will be missing it dearly.
I use to include the work of Jane Jacobs in my urban sociology class on the character of cities and neighborhoods. She was the great champion of diversity and civil interaction. Lovely mural and quote in your photo.
absolutely enlightening, hopefully the citizens read it and heeded it.

A most intelligent sign!
I came to see if you had posted a fence. Instead I found this wall (a fence of sorts) with this great quotation.
