Tuesday, September 25, 2007, 6 PM, Municipal Art Society’s Urban Center galleries at 457 Madison Avenue (at 51st Street) in New York City, NY.

Municipal Art Society and the Rockefeller Foundation present Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York. Coming at a time of unprecedented growth and redevelopment in the city, this exhibit aims to encourage New Yorkers to observe the city closely and to empower them, with a combination of tools and resources, to take an active role in advocating for a more livable city — the shared goal of Jane Jacobs and MAS. Jane Jacobs authored what is widely accepted as the definitive statement on American cities in 1961 entitled "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". The exhibit is On view Tuesday, September 25, through Saturday, January 5, 2008 at the MAS Urban Center.
