The 11 Books of Jane Jacobs: All-in-One Jane's Walk

Jane Jacobs published at least 11 books during her life, and wrote so
much more...

• Toronto: Considering Self-government (2000)
• Dark Age Ahead (2004)

During the Centenary "Jane 100" Jane's Walk year, HiMY SYeD decided to
lead one Jane's Walk for each of Jane Jacobs' 11 Books.

The main ideas in each of those books was illustrated and understood
from walk stop to walk stop using neighbourhood icons, landmarks,
examples, architecture and things hiding in plain sight.

This year, instead of 11 Different Jane's Walk for 11 Different Books,
there will be 11 unique walk stop locations plus several smaller walk
pauses starting in Parkdale, meandering by Ontario Place, until we
wind down this Jane's Walk at The Minotaur.

This will be 1 Jane's Walk covering only the most vital and timely
ideas from each of Jane Jacobs' 11 books.

If you've never read any of Jane's books, or missed a few, or want a
crash course or refresher in the ideas and writings of Jane Jacobs'...

Or are simply curious why Labyrinths and Mazes were so important to
Jane's thinking on Cities and Neighbourhoods, then this is the Jane's
Walk for you!

Details: HiMY will be holding Orange Jane's Walk Sign standing in middle of the
Parkdale Labyrinth inside Masaryk Park.

Walk Start:

The Parkdale Labyrinth inside Masaryk Park, 212 Cowan Avenue, South of
Queen Street West, Parkdale, West End Toronto.

The Minotaur opposite Ontario Place.
