]]> Dear SUNRISE cities (and all),

I have come across this very interesting initiative called Jane’s Walk. Jane’s Walks are organised and led by volunteers around the world and they are inspired by the famous work of Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) who was an urbanist and activist and author of the book “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”, a key book for city planning.

As a city, you can join this network and run your local walk! Walks can connect people and neighbourhoods and create sense of place and belonging. Some SUNRISE cities such has Jerusalem, Malmo, Thessaloniki and Budapest are already in the network. Get in touch with the organisers!

Read here a nice report of a past Jane’s walk in Jerusalem: http://janeswalk.org/israel/jerusalem/janes-walk-jerusalem-2013/
