Rethinking Urban Development from

the Ground Up

In celebration of next week’s Jane’s Walk Festival (May 2–4), join us for an engaging conversation on the enduring impact of Jane Jacobs—urban thinker, activist, and champion of people-powered cities.

From grassroots planning, to vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhoods, Jacobs’ ideas transformed how we think about urban development. This session explores how her legacy lives on through civic engagement, bottom-up solutions, and the global Jane’s Walk movement—now active in nearly 500 cities across six continents.

Whether you're an urbanist, a change-maker, or simply curious about your neighbourhood, this is your invitation to explore how community voices can build more inclusive, resilient, and connected cities.
