| ln 1960, Jane Jacobs' book The Death and Life of Great American Cities sent shockwaves through the architecture and pIanning worlds, with its expIoration of the consequences of modern pIanners' and architects' reconfiguration of cities. Jacobs was also an activist, who was involved in fights in mid-century New York to stop 'master builder' Robert Moses from running roughshod over the city. This film retraces the battles for the city as personified by Jacobs and Moses, as urbanization moves to the very front of the gIobaI agenda. Many of the clues for formuIating soIutions to the dizzying array of urban issues can be found in Jacobs' prescient text, and a cIose second look at her thinking and writing about cities is very much in order. This fiIm sets out to examine the city of today through the lens of one of its greatest champions. |
