Join Jane’s Walk Toronto for a special screening of Citizen Jane: Battle for the City, a compelling documentary exploring the life and legacy of Jane Jacobs — urban activist, writer, and champion of community-led planning.
This timely film tells the story of Jacobs’ historic fight against top-down urban renewal in 1960s New York and her lifelong advocacy for vibrant, people-centered cities. It’s a powerful reminder of the role everyday citizens can play in shaping the urban environment.
This event is generously sponsored by the Urban Studies Program at the University of Toronto and the Canadian Film Forum — with deep thanks for making it possible.
