Join City Commissioner Bryan Eastman, Gainesville is for People, and other community members for Gainesville’s first “Jane’s Walk” through downtown Gainesville.
This informal walk is a way for to come together, discuss what everyone is seeing, discuss what makes downtown work, what it needs, and how the ideas from Jane Jacobs’ “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” still resonate with the downtown here today.
Jane’s Walks are annual, community-led walks that take place the first weekend in May in hundreds of cities across the world. They are meant to bring community together and celebrate the community-driven, bottom-up approach to urban design championed by Jane Jacobs, a writer and urban theorist whose ideas have inspired generations of urbanists and planners.
Meet at How Bazar in downtown at 6 p.m.. The walk stops at various spots before ending back at How Bazar.
