Jane’s Talk at Raw Sugar

This just in from our good friends at Jane’s Walk Ottawa:

Jane’s Walk Ottawa 2011 gets underway with a panel discussion featuring two of Ottawa’s most innovative urban planners discussing how the ideas of Jane Jacobs are reflected in Ottawa’s urban environment. To mark the 50th anniversary of Jane’s seminal book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities , the discussion will focus on the four factors Jane identified that underpin lively, productive, resilient urban neighbourhoods.
