What can a walk teach us about Jane Jacobs?
“We encourage people to meet face to face with their neighbors and to open up a conversation about what they care about in their neighborhoods. We see it as a kind of active citizenship and really a gateway to other kinds of civic action in the community.”
Denise Pinto
This podcast features Denise Pinto who is the Global Director of Jane’s Walk. Jane's Walk is a movement of free, citizen-led walking tours inspired by Jane Jacobs. The walks get people to tell stories about their communities, explore their cities, and connect with neighbors. Denise discusses how the organization got started, how Jane's Walks work, and their impact on communities around the world.
