The death and life of great American cities (By Jane Jacobs)

“Like a great, visible ego it tells of someone’s achievement. But as to how the city works, it tells, like the Garden City, nothing but lies.” Architectures and city planners; highway planners, land-use planners, legislators- all of them are missing the main point while they are planning. Theories of Garden City, City Beautiful, and Modernism are just ideals of what they think of how city ought to faction but the city actually faction and the real city life. As Jane Jacobs mentioned, to plant and rebuild the city, we should look closely and small in ways of social behavior of people in the cities, economic behavior of the cities and understanding them and the problems that the cities have; changes in housing, traffic, design, planning instead of.
