When Jane Jacobs died in 2006, Canada lost one of its loudest and most persistent urban voices. What Jacobs advocated is well known: short blocks, mixed-use buildings and diverse neighbourhoods. Urban Goddess: Jane Jacobs Reconsidered<\/em> considers the livable city: an issue that directly impacts the quality of life of the majority of the world’s population. The documentary examines the champion of neighbourhood activism’s legacy, through two redevelopment disputes: one in New York and the other in Toronto. These disputes raise many of the same issues Jacobs encountered 50 years ago. It also looks at Vancouver, a city frequently put forward as a shining example of Jacobs’ livable city philosophy. The documentary asks \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is Jane Jacobs’ legacy intact?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and, more to the point, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Is it still valid?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TVO is premiering what sounds like an interesting documentary about Jane Jacobs’ legacy tonight (Wed.
