I have to admit, prior to this book I had not heard of Jane Jacobs. I find her platform fascinating, though: cities are for people, not companies. I enjoyed learning about her efforts to make cities more pedestrian friendly. The journey was intriguing. I might have liked to have seen more detail about her platform, though. The focus is largely on events in her life. I'd have liked to see some detail of what people-centric city planning looks like: green spaces, public transport, pedestrian lanes, etc.
