HALIFAX<\/strong> – About 25 people gathered in front on the Halifax Farmers’ Market last Saturday to take part in Halifax’s Jane’s Walk<\/a>. This year’s walk, “Change of (s)Pace,” wandered through the downtown, stopping to muse about all kinds of transformations the city is undergoing.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Spacing Atlantic contributors, we followed the participatory principle that everyone is an authority on their community. \u00a0Anyone interested was given the opportunity to share thoughts and knowledge on their neighborhoods and city, taking up the megaphone whenever the urge arose.<\/p>\n

This kind of community engagement was reminiscent of the principles put forward by urban thinker Jane Jacobs<\/a>, whose ideas Jane’s Walk<\/a> aims to celebrate.\u00a0First begun in Toronto in 2007, these community-led walks take place in cities across North America and the world, honouring Jane’s vision of a dynamic city\u00a0where people are connect to their environments and each other. While they may be organized at any time of year, the walks are concentrated around the first weekend in May, taking place in over 400 neighbourhoods worldwide\u00a0last weekend.<\/p>\n

A slew of pending changes were traversed and a diversity of thoughts were shared, maybe even provoking a fresh outlook on our downtown neighbourhood and the way that we engage with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
