During Monday’s class we discussed two of the most legendary shapers of NYC, Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs.  We started by situating them and the texts we read within the historical timeline that we charted last week and then reviewed their different approaches to shaping the city.  Drawing from Scott Larson’s text, we traced their legacies to policy and planning practices today (esp. under Bloomberg), which try to take the best of both approaches, but still fail to address growing inequality and injustice.
