Summary
Who the hell is…? brings you our new Biography Bites – compact biographies of the world’s greatest thinkers.

This episode tells the life story of Jane Jacobs, journalist, author, theorist, activist, and one of the most underrated and yet influential thinkers in urbanism. Jacobs fought tirelessly against urban renewal and slum clearance projects which threatened city neighbourhoods, and fearlessly stood up against experts in the male-dominated field of urban planning, eventually achieving the recognition and respect that she deserved. Here, we look at the life and influences of Jane Jacobs, and find out who this incredible woman really was.
We hope you enjoy this episode and don't forget to look out for our other biography bites on the world's greatest thinkers!
