Jane Jacobs died early today at her home in Toronto. To understand why the words "profound" and "path breaking" applied to her thought, read the story in the New York Times outlining her life and work. All of us who struggle with understanding creativity and urban life owe her more than a debt of gratitude - she was there first and her ideas will long out last us all.
