What we've been up to: The Jane Jacobs Oakland Wiki Walk!

First Stop: Location of Harrison Railroad ParkOn the afternoon of Sunday May 5, 2013, Oakland Wiki and friends joined hundreds of walks being held in dozens of cities around the world with its own Jane's Walk.

Jane Jacobs was an urbanist and author. She remains best known for writing The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and Dark Age Ahead. As an activist, she helped stop two planned urban expressways: one in Manhattan and the other in Toronto. She always encouraged people to get out and walk and learn about their cities first hand.

In 2007, a year after her passing, friends in her adopted hometown of Toronto organized "Jane's Walks" on the first weekend in May to coincide with what would have been her birthday weekend. Oakland has held several Jane's Walks since 2010. This walk was the first time it was sponsored by Oakland Wiki.
