For those who just can't get enough of Jacobs

Hey all,
Given the overwhelming outpouring of love for Jane Jacobs' essay, "The Use of Sidewalks--Safety," I thought I'd let you know that she didn't stop writing with her 1961 essay that we read for today. Jacobs just died this past spring, but many of her essays live on. You can check out at 2002 interview with members of the World Bank here.

To be honest, I was amazed to see how wide her influence extended. A blog was put in to offer memories and reflections of her work following her death...Quite telling what people have to say. I also found some video clips...in particular this interview on her "web way of thinking." There's another interesting interview on "creative cities" here. There is also an interesting program about her and her influence on urban developmen on the Public Radio International (PRI) program Studio 360. This program is interesting because it includes inteviews with her discussing how she came to understand the importance of "sidewalks" and how to approach city planning from a bottom up analysis.
