Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring Jane Jacobs's influential yet complex ideas, this book presents cross-disciplinary and transnational perspectives on her work over 50 years after "The Death and Life of Great American Cities." In the context of modern globalization and deregulated planning, contributors emphasize the need to adapt and contextualize Jacobs's principles rather than apply them rigidly. They address contemporary challenges, offering fresh insights into her legacy and its relevance today.
