RIP Jane Jacobs, the scourge of city planners everywhere

An original mind has left us. We are now alone in the dense metropolis she championed. Jane Jacobs has died at the age of 89.

My review of her book The Nature of Economies is here.

Hat tip to Marginal Revolution.

Visitors to Cafe Hayek also have something to say on Jacobs, from a libertarian perspective.
