Review Quotes: ""It's as if Jane Jacobs' bright eye hadn't dimmed... In the hands of this book's essay writers, new thoughts sprout, all as true to Jane's spirit and inventive urbanity as the gardens (intellectual and physical) she cultivated in her lifetime.""--Neal Peirce "journalist and Chair, The Citistates Group; author, Boundary Crossers"
