Invitation: Take a Jane's Walk or Host a Jane's Walk
“No one can find what will work for our cities by looking at suburban garden cities, manipulation scale models, or inventing dream cities. You've got to get out and walk.”
- Jane Jacobs, Downtown is for People , 1957


This May, Think City, in partnership with The Centre for City Ecology, is celebrating the legacy of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs with a series of free walking tours called Jane's Walks given in neighbourhoods throughout the city.

On May 3 and 4, Think City will bring together citizens, activists and such Vancouver notables as Gordon Price, Annabel Vaughan, John Atkin, Wendy Pederson and Ned Jacobs to lead tours through their neighbourhoods. Each guide will highlight! the people, places, and public spaces that make that particular community interesting and unique. Sign-up today to host or walk. Space is limited.
