ABOUT THE JANE JACOBS PRIZE<\/h3>\n

The Jane Jacobs Prize<\/b> is an annual award that celebrates individuals who contribute to the fabric of Toronto life in unique ways that exemplify the ideas of Jane Jacobs. The prize recipients<\/a> reflect the diverse aspects of city life. They may not always agree on what makes the city work or what the answers are to making it work better, but their observations and backgrounds have become part of our urban experience and enrich our lives.<\/p>\n

The Jane Jacobs Prize was first announced in 1997 at the end of a five-day international celebration called Jane Jacobs: Ideas that Matter<\/i>., with the first recipients receiving the prize in 1999. In 2014, Spacing<\/em> magazine took over the selection and administration of the award.<\/p>\n
