Jane Jacobs in the West End: Could her ideas have changed the neighborhood?

The West End Museum’s second time participating in Jane’s Walk (http://www.janeswalk.net/) a global event that brings free walking tours about Jane Jacobs and city planning to cities. Given by local organizations: our tour will focus on Jane Jacobs ideas and how they could have been implemented in the West End. Instead ideas such as the Radiant City and Garden City (ideas that Jacobs rejected as damaging to neighborhoods) prevailed in the West End. This tour will look at multiple theories of Urban Planning and let you decide which is the best for the West End. Meet at the West End Museum.

This tour will be led by museum docent Kimberly Whitaker.
