Jane Jacobs: Parting Words (2007) from Kevin Balmer on Vimeo.
Too lazy a disorganised today to post much or tie thoughts together. Here's another video, about Jane Jacobs. It's not nearly long enough.
In a more rational world all of this Jane stuff would get pretty stale, lame, and redundant. After all this should be just common sense. However, in the fragile world of Pittsburgh and America today, the first step in making the world a "better place", is to keep the ignorant and powerful from making it worse.
I like that the video draws the link between a lot of Richard Florida's ideas and their obvious roots in Jane's writing.
