Blog 7: A Career-Related Website or an Expert in Your Field

Hello everyone, today I will talk about an expert in my field that I admire

"Cities have the ability to provide something for each of their inhabitants, only because, and only when, they are created for all"

The person I admire is Jane Jacobs, she was a journalist, socio-political activist and self-taught urban planner who was born in 1916 in the United States, who in the early 1960s led a movement that opposed the construction of a highway in New York since they led the destruction of neighborhoods and displacement of residents who had lived all their lives there. She studied and analyzed the streets because he believed that in this was the vision that people have of the city.


Some of his books are:

-The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1967)
-The Question of Separatism (1980)
-Cities and the Wealth of Nations (1985)


Jane Jacobs is the person I admire most mainly for her contributions to urban planning and for being an innate leader of a movement that sought to defend the human scale in the great American cities.
