Jane Jacobs was instrumental in stopping Manhattan from being sliced in two by a freeway during the 60s. To understand her courage you have to understand her adversary. Robert Moses was pragmatic and in charge of Urban Renewal, public housing, parks, public works, highways and bridges. His influence and power have been described as that of god. This is a tribute to an independent, observant and intelligent person who never lost sight of her goal and whose once radical ideas in The Death and Life of Great American Cities became mainstream in America. This unseen video, completed at the time of her death, in 2006, is In Memorium of the great and enduring legacy of Jane Jacobs. https://youtube/watch?v=mjEg7tChDrk
