Jane’s Walk in a city near you. May 1 & 2
On the May 1 and 2 weekend, Jane’s Walks will be taking place in cities across Canada and around the world!
Celebrating the legacy of Jane Jacobs, the foremost urban thinker of our times, Jane’s Walk inspires citizens to get to know their city and each other by getting out and walking. Jacobs famously declared that walkable, diverse and mixed used neighborhoods are the hallmark of a healthy city and its people.
Jane’s Walk, a Tides Canada project, is a thriving Toronto innovation that’s going global. Last year 46 cities took part across North America, offering 315 tours to over 10,000 walkers. This year Jane’s Walks will span 65 cities worldwide (35 in Canada, 25 in the USA) with an estimated 400 walking tours on offer. New Jane’s Walk partnerships this year include Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Chattanooga, Saskatoon, Victoria, and Jane’s Walk is also expanding internationally with walks scheduled in Mumbai, Goa, Dublin and Madrid.
Jane’s Walk cultivates a broad understanding of how cities – their economies, neighbourhoods, communities, and institutions – organically develop and thrive. It works to advance walkable neighbourhoods, to increase urban literacy and promote neighbourhood cohesion, civic engagement and leadership.
