I was so delighted to host a book signing for Becky Pitts debut book Jane Jacobs: Champion of Cities, Champion of People in November 2023. It’s the first biography for young people on Jane Jacobs, the visionary activist, urbanist, and thinker who transformed the way we inhabit and develop our cities. The photos below capture just some of the community who came out to congratulate the author at the signing.

The first week of May is Jane Jacobs Walk week which is a series of free neighborhood walking, biking, and transit tours that help put people in touch with their environment and with the people who live in their community. Becky will be dropping off some cool pins to go with the signed copies of her book in celebration, so if you missed the original launch event it is another great time to stop by!
