Description: The beautiful and historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights offers excellent examples of Jane Jacobs’s principles of urban diversity in action. Beginning at the steps of Brooklyn¹s Borough Hall, we will stroll through residential and commercial streets while observing and talking about how the physical environment influences social activity and even economic and cultural development, both for good and for ill. We will be stopping at several points of interest, including the famous Promenade, and end near the #2/3 subway and a nice coffeehouse.
Please wear comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, and be sure to have lots of questions. See you there!
Meeting Place: Meet on the footsteps of Borough Hall, Brooklyn, near the fountain. We will end at the Clark Street station of the 2/3 subway line.
