The Death and Life of Inglewood

Join Ward 9 City Councillor Gian-Carlo Carra as he interprets Inglewood through the books of Jane Jacobs and evokes discussion on neighbourhoods.

This walk will discuss Jane’s first and last books as illustrated by a couple of blocks within Inglewood. Our community faced the same threats, within the same era, that Jane Jacob’s Greenwich Village faced in NYC. The Death and Life of Great American Cities, while not ours, is a testament to the power and the beauty of communities at their best in the face of the worst – it is almost ours. But despite the success of both The Death and Life as well as Inglewood’s own remarkable struggle for community, Jane’s last book represents a warning. Dark Age Ahead offers little optimism and suggests that when we fail to remember where we’ve come from, our future darkens. Walk with GC and let’s rediscover our City’s misremembered past in the patterns and echoes of its oldest neighborhood.
