The documentary "Citizen Jane: Battle for the City." In 1960 Jane Jacobs鈥檚 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities sent shockwaves through the architecture and planning worlds, with its exploration of the consequences of modern planners鈥� and architects鈥� reconfiguration of cities. Jacobs was also an activist, who was involved in many fights in mid-century New York, to stop 鈥渕aster builder鈥� Robert Moses from running roughshod over the city. This film retraces the battles for the city as personified by Jacobs and Moses, as urbanization moves to the very front of the global agenda.
