About Jane's Walk
Inspired by Jane Jacobs, a pioneering urbanist who championed walkable, people-centred cities, Jane’s Walks are free, community-led events which happen globally in early May, designed to bring people together to discuss what makes great places. Whether you’re an urban planner, local history buff, architecture enthusiast, or just someone who loves their neighborhood, this walk is for you!
