I personally do not think that the standard urbanist paradigm has shifted since she wrote Death and Life. We are still in Jacob's era, and most of her vision is still a long way from being implemented.Daniel Nairnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127732825472374125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389181255786430083.post-32102502705331876392008-09-18T04:42:00.000-05:002008-09-18T04:42:00.000-05:00i understand kazys, to a point. the problem is tha...i understand kazys, to a point. the problem is that we as urban enthusiasts or students only get jacobs rehashed, filtered and out of context, in a way that the work looses its punch and significance. jacobs has become tautology (same thing with deleuze&guattari, and before that it derrida, or benjamin, or foucault). that doesn't mean their work has become pointless. it's only more difficult to appreciate them critically in the midst of fads and fluff and the farrago.<BR/><BR/>what kazys should really abandon is the now pointless binary opposition between city and suburb.Mario Ballesteroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860860849865490238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389181255786430083.post-44510834608355568602008-09-18T00:31:00.000-05:002008-09-18T00:31:00.000-05:00what good could she be? are you kidding?what good could she be? are you kidding?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389181255786430083.post-47212238346578795012008-09-17T23:59:00.000-05:002008-09-17T23:59:00.000-05:00I know they still read her, because at one of my o...I know they still read her, because at one of my organization's events recently on public safety a young guy told everyone to go read "The Death and Life of.." and people emailed afterwords wanting the exact name and author.
