The annual Jane’s Walks, held on the first weekend of May, now happen in over a hundred cities around the world, cultivating urbanist Jane Jacobs’s love for the appreciation of cities and the neighbourhoods within them. The project started here in Toronto, and there are over a hundred different walks you can take across the GTA over three days, exploring urban art, green spaces and trails, architecture, local history, and more. We’ve put together some suggestions in our Jane’s Walk 2014 guide, and another good place to start would be at the launch party on Friday evening, featuring Toronto’s chief planner Jennifer Keesmaat and urban designer Ken Greenberg as featured speakers.
