[[wiki-architecture]] · [[Biographies]] · [[ARCHITECTURE]] · [[000]] # Jane's Walk Jane's Walk is a neighbourhood walking tour that takes place in hundreds of cities each year. These are walking conversations and create space for civic dialogue, neighbourhood pride and center stories by people not always invited to the table. Named after urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs, Jane's Walks are held annually during the first weekend in May to coincide with her birthday, May 4. Jane's Walks are led by volunteers and are offered for free. They are led by anyone who has an interest in the neighbourhoods where they live, work, play or socialize. The walks are not always about architecture and heritage and offer a more personal take on the local culture, the social history and the issues, challenges and achievements of our urban environment and the people who live in it. Since its inception in 2006, in Toronto, Canada, Jane's Walks have taken place in cities across North America and around the world. In 2014, over 40,000 people took part in Jane's Walks and since 2014 Jane's Walks have taken place in over 500 cities. The governance of Jane's Walk and the Jane's Walk website is led by a fully volunteer steering committee of members around the world. == See also == Urban exploration == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 5B - Escalators and Moving Walks]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Buildings and Structures]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/satellites]] - [[Structures/Structural Engineering]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing/Waterproofing Details]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 2 - Soils and Foundations]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Biographies]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 11 - Sustainability]] - [[Professional Practice/Construction Management/Project Management]] - [[Building Services/Building Performance/Acoustics]] == External links == Jane's Walk (International) Jane Jacobs Walk (formerly Jane's Walk USA) 2012 Flickr photo pool (Video) Eyes on the Street - a 2011 Jane's Walk in Toronto Manual for organizing urban strolls (in Slovene) Jane's Walk 2013 Calcutta, India Jane's Walk Colchester
