Today, I enjoyed leading an architectural tour that explored 'a century of gentle density in St Kilda and Elwood'.

Because ideas about what is 'good housing' and 'good density' evolve and change over time, I find community forums like this to be consistently educational and rewarding.

The tour was a joint event organised by Port Phillip Bicycle User Group and Jane's Walk. It was 1 of 5 Jane’s Walks events held in Melbourne this 🌧️ 💨 weekend.

Jane’s Walk is a global volunteer-led community movement, created in recognition of the ideas and legacy of Jane Jacobs.

I joined a #JanesWalk today with Milena Khazanavicius, who is blind & uses a guide dog. We took it in turns to walk with a blindfold on - a sobering experience. The streets of #HalifaxNS #Kjipuktuk are hostile for anyone with accessibility needs. We need to do better. There's another walk on Sunday May 7 - I'd highly recommend: https://www.janeswalkhalifax.com/schedule

Great turn out and some really great questions and discussions. Thanks for walking with me folks. #JanesWalkOtt #JanesWalk #Ottawa

#Kunst hat selbst auf einem Friedhof einen Platz! Bei meinem heutigen #JanesWalk 🚶über den Plagwitzer Parkfriedhof mit Dagmar Zehnel (Projektleiterin der Freiluftgalerien) & Petra Kießling (Vorsitzende #GEDOK Mitteldeutschland) konnte ich mich davon selbst überzeugen.

A reminder for this weekend in Saskatoon.

If you've never been on a Jane's Walk,

"Jane's Walk is an annual festival of free, citizen-led walking conversations inspired by citizen activist Jane Jacobs. On the first weekend of May every year, Jane's Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. Jane's Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods and discover unseen aspects of their communities."

#JanesWalk

Didn't know we had this here! Jane's Walk (Promenades de Jane), pays homage to Jane Jacobs’ advocacy for walkable cities. #Sherbrooke is holding their own events next month to walk around 3 different neighborhoods in the city.

What a great initiative to appreciate one's own surroundings.

Kunstwerke auf dem Friedhof?! 🖼️ Passend zum #JanesWalk 🚶 lade ich am 5.

Last walking lecture for the term yesterday for my course on #Sociology of #ThirdPlaces. It was pouring near freezing rain but I got to share some (sub)cultural history of lost music venues in #Ottawa with my students. Likely to be revived next spring for general public as a #JanesWalk.

Who knows where "Ottawa's CBGB's" was?
