Can mixing affordable housing and exclusive
housing work? Planners work hard to create inclusive spaces but as Jane Jacobs
explains in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities, forced
inclusivity rarely works out. Interaction needs space to develop on its own –
that is a scary idea to a planner. Our very purpose is to control development,
we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t plan for everything!
Book mentioned above:
Jacobs, Jane. 2000. The Death and Life of Great American Cities. London: Pimlico.
