The Death and Life of Great American
Cities by Jane Jacobs
The Triumph Of Common Sense
A classic since its publication in 1961, this book is the defintive statement
on American cities: what makes them safe, how they function, and why all
too many official attempts at saving them have failed.
Personal Review: The Death and Life of Great American Cities
by Jane Jacobs
In an age when architects and planners were spouting all kinds of brave-
new-world nonsense (or mindlessly absorbing it, or even worse - building
it), Jacobs burst onto the scene with an incredible dose of sanity mixed
with common sense and wisdom, carefully observing the urban
environment and drawing a host of remarkably sensible conclusions. For
some reason we architects seem always at risk of believing our own
nuttiest fantasies. Jacobs is a perennial corrective.
