Why the Jane Jacobs vs. Robert Moses Battle Still Matters
A Q&A with Matt Tyrnauer, director of Citizen Jane: Battle For The City.
Jane Jacobs moved to Toronto in 1968 after being arrested during her ultimately successful battle against Robert Moses and his plans for a Lower Manhattan Expressway. In her new city, where she stayed until her death in 2006, Jacobs fought off yet another planned expressway, consulted on occasional development projects, spoke out against amalgamation, and continued to write books.
