In fact, her book illustrates that the \u201ctower in the park\u201d so admired by the planning elite of her day failed to incorporate the qualities like density and diversity, that make great urban neighbourhoods work. Somewhat ironically, given that Jacobs spent her later life in Toronto, this city has more postwar towers than any other.<\/p>\n<p>Yet as our towers have aged, and as the demographics of their inhabitants have changed, both of our winners are applying Jane Jacobs\u2019s methods to steer them into a second phase of useful life: Stewart by agitating for big-picture strategic thinking from the top down, and Ali by mobilizing the awe-inspiring energy of her community to create new ways of using the public space around them, literally from the ground up.
