For those who are concern about human dimension of urban design , Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) is a very familiar character.
Her book "The death and life of great American cities" was one of those books that has changed the history of urban planning and can be considered as a strating point of departure for promoting humane dimensions of the cities.
I was actually planning to visit her, next month in Toronto, Canada but I became very upset when I realized that she just passed away April 26, 2006 .
We are greatly saddened by Jane Jacobs' death , but confident that her infectious love for cities will be carried on by many followers far into the future. We will miss her dearly.
