A year before her death at age 90, the celebrated urban planning activist Jane Jacobs wrote a letter (dated April 15, 2005) to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, expressing her thoughts about the 2005 rezoning of the Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods. A copy was recently obtained by WG News + Arts (from an unnamed source).
We think that now is appropriate time to bring it to light, as tomorrow we face the latest rezoning on the waterfront, when the City Council of New York votes on the Domino Plan.
Ms. Jacobs, a world-renowned scholar of good and balanced growth in cities, is currently in the news because of a coveted citation in her name. Last week, a Jane Jacobs Medal was awarded to the the founders of Friends of the High Line.
