JANE JACOBS'S MORAL EXPLORATIONS SAM BASS WARNER,JR.* Abstract: This essay reviews Jane Jacobs's three major books: The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Cities and the Wealth of Nations, and The Nature of Economies. It traces her development of a hierarchy of places from neighborhoods to city regions to nations and the earth. All her places are defined by their predominant social activities, not by geographical boundaries. The themes of diversity, experimentation, adaptability, and democracy inform all her writings and form the basis of her moral analysis. Jacobs's methods are contrasted to those of Lewis Mumford and the similarities of their moral concerns noted. Her latest book, a review of the basic hypotheses of ecology, successfully presents the idea that through self-correction, differentiation, and diversification, humans and their fellow organisms can best find sustain ability.

  • Foundations of Modern American City Planning
    FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN AMERICAN CITY PLANNING Most historians agree that modern American city planning began in the late 1800s. Some affix the date to 1893 and the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, though there is less orthodoxy regarding this moment than 15 years ago. In contrast to the earlier Colonial planning period (Philadelphia, Savannah, Williamsburg, etc.) wherein plans preceded development, planning in the 1800s generally responded to the urbanization stimulated by the industrial revolution in existing and haphazardly developing cities. The American Industrial Revolution occurred in two waves, the first in 1820-1870 and the second in 1870-1920. The U.S. grew from 7% urban in 1820 to 25% urban in 1870 and 50% urban in 1920. Three social movements categorized as precursors to modern American city planning (public health/sanitary reform, settlement house and housing reform, and parks planning) responded to the challenges and consequences of chaotic urbanization prior to modern planning's beginnings. The City Beautiful movement was a fourth response at about the same time that modern planning began. The Garden Cities Movement simultaneously commenced in England and was imported soon after. American planning grew out of and hoped to provide a broader, more comprehensive vision to these movements. Five interrelated and overlapping 1.

  • The Roots of the New Urbanism: John Nolen's Garden City Ethic
    JOURNAL OF PLANNING HISTORY / May 2002 Stephenson / THE ROOTS OF THE NEW URBANISM The Roots of the New Urbanism: John Nolen’s Garden City Ethic Bruce Stephenson Rollins College The New Urbanism has invigorated city planning history by invoking the tradition of Americancivic designto solve the conundrumof suburbansprawl. Studies have docu - mented the similarities between the works of pioneer planner John Nolen and Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, but the ethic connecting past and present remains vague. This research presents the origins of the garden city ethic John Nolen introduced to the United States and its potential to foster a sustainable planning sys- tem capable of enlivening American civic culture. Keywords: Garden city, Florida city planning, John Nolen, New Urbanism, suburbansprawl. he New Urbanism has invigorated city planning history with rele- vance by invoking the tradition of American civic design to solve the Tconundrum of contemporary suburban sprawl.1 Eventhose most critical of the New Urbanism cannot deny the saliency of their agenda given the problems they seek to address: “disinvestments in central cities, the spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, envi- ronmental deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.”2 As suburban growth has increasingly “become a pejorative”3 in state and local elections, the New Urbanism has moved from novelty to pol- icy. The challenge city planning historians face is not only to place the New Urbanism in context but, as Lewis Mumford wrote, “to bring to the fore- ground those things that have been left out of the current scheme of life and thought.”4 The plan by architects Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) for Seaside, Florida, revived the art of traditional town planning.

  • Radburn, New Jersey: Planning Precedent
    RADBURN, NEW JERSEY PLANNING PRECEDENT Established 1929 Planned by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright Established in 1929, Radburn was marketed as a “Town for the Motor Age.” However, its roots were in the English garden city movement,and it brought together many important and innovative planning concepts: the superblock, the clustering of individual houses around cul-de-sacs, the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic (system of pedestrian pathways behind homes making it possible to walk without crossing a vehicular street), and the abundance of common outdoor spaces within walking distance of every unit. Only partially finished because of the Stock Market Crash, the town was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005. Park Space Pedestrian Walkway Photo: @Dmadeo, Wikimedia Commons Diagram: Elisabeth Frizzell and Victor Hoyos The cul-de-sacs at Radburn provide automobile access to the units The diagram above shows the cul-de-sac module at Radburn. Really just a long driveway, the cul-de- sac was meant to be a back door entry, providing vehicular access to the garages and service access to/ from the kitchens. The public face of the house – with the front door and living room – was on the opposite side, adjoining either a pedestrian mews or the larger common outdoor spaces. Repeating the module, as shown in the large-scale plan on the right, created the superblock: vehicular traffic was kept to the perimeter and common outdoor spaces connected all of the houses. Photo: WTTW Plan: Clarence Stein and Henry Wright Paths at the backs of the houses lead to the larger common space.
