Urban theoretician and writer J.Jacobs was born on May 4, 1916, in Scranton, Pennsylvania,United States. Although she had no formal training as an urban planner, J.Jacobs revolutionized the way we look at cities. Her vision was inspired by her time living in New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood, a medley of townhouses, walk-up apartment buildings and narrow streets that all fostered a sense of society.
