Thanks for highlighting the importance of walkable neighborhoods, especially for kids! Encourage kids to connect with, and speak up for, their 'hoods, like #JaneJacobs did! A #kidlit picture book bio about Jane: Walking in the City with Jane! @kidscan #activism #grassroots
Explore 'Walking in the City with Jane: A Story of Jane Jacobs'. Introduce kids to the importance of walkable neighborhoods and community-centered urban planning. #JaneJacobs #UrbanDesign
