Genesis Hevia Orio: Jane's Walks

Topic: Jane's Walks

Why We Do Jane’s Walks

We walk our cities to honor and activate the ideas of Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walk is a community-based approach to city building that uses citizen-led walking tours to make space for people to observe, reflect, share, question and re-imagine the places in which they live, work and play.

Principles Guiding the Walks

Jane’s Walks are guided by the principles gifted to us by Jane Jacobs herself.

Who We Are

Jane’s Walks are organized by a network of City Organizers around the world. Learn about the history and the people behind the project.
