>"Jane Jacobs addresses this topic at length in Chapter 19 of The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here are the first few paragraphs (the whole book is a worthwhile read if you have the chance)"
That's a seminal book in urban planning and policy. I was happy to see it mentioned in the discussion. There was also a good documentary of Jane Jacobes that was released last year(she would have 100) called "Citizen Jane: Battle for the City"
