Jane\u2019s Walk<\/a> honours the legacy and ideas of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs who championed the interests of local residents at a time when scale models and grand visions of the future removed designers from the experience of the city by foot. Jane\u2019s Walk often takes Jacobs\u2019 ideas to communities unfamiliar with her writing, in order to advance local engagement with contemporary urban planning practices. The walks help knit people together into strong and resourceful communities, instilling belonging and encouraging civic leadership.<\/p>\n

With a growing number of Vancouver neighbourhoods participating in this year\u2019s walks\u201420 and counting\u2014it is beyond doubt that people care about their own communities and want to be involved as stewards of their transformation. Imagine over 500 Vancouver artists, foodies, writers, activists, history buffs and people from all walks of life, taking to the streets to engage in frank discussion about everything from vibrant urban gardens markets to urban archaeology, from transportation issues to gentrification of our neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

Everyone can attend a Jane\u2019s Walk (no reservations required) and all tours are free of charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
