Welcome to the Center for the Living City

Inspired by the work of Jane Jacobs, the Center for the Living City’s purpose is to enhance our understanding of the complexity of contemporary urban life and through it, promote increased civic engagement of citizens who care deeply for their communities. Through generative portals including symposia, exhibitions, fellowships, workshops, and publications, individuals and organizations can connect with others addressing the interrelated issues of economies, ecologies, society and city building. Please visit our growing website often, as well as our sister organization in Toronto, The Centre for City Ecology at www.janeswalk.net to learn more.

Welcome to Salt Lake City’s Jane’s Walk!

The Center for the Living City continues its Jane’s Walks this year in Salt Lake City. Linked in spirit and purpose with our sister organization The Centre for City Ecology in Toronto, we’ll focus our tour on the evolution of mixed-use development in Salt Lake, including award-winning affordable housing, and historic places and spaces for the arts in the city’s warehouse district. See you out there!
