Description
Abstract from the distributor:
Jane Jacobs’s death in 2006 triggered many conversations around town about her legacy to New York. In particular, people have been mulling the question of whose urban vision – hers, or that of her arch opponent, Robert Moses – dominates Gotham’s approaches to city building today. A conversation among historians, architects, planners, politicians, community activists, and developers will explore the issue.
