Danielle Kwong’s Reviews > The Death and Life of Great American Cities > Status Update

I appreciate Jane Jacob’s advocacy for diversity in cities as she sees more diversified spaces drives away totalitarian attitudes. Let’s just say she really loves Greenwich Village.

Money used in cities by non governmental and government entities determines the health of neighborhoods. Unfortunately in most cases, money collected by the government would spend most of it on the suburbs while they determine cities as slums. I love how North End of Boston were able to thrive during the Depression through primitive methods of service such as bartering without relying on the banks.
