Jane Jacobs reminded us that presence matters. ✨
The simple act of walking, participating, and connecting with neighbours is what shapes thriving communities.

Jane’s Walk began in Toronto in 2007 as a grassroots tribute to Jane Jacobs — the legendary urbanist who championed people-first, community-led cities. 🌆🚶♀️
Today, it's a global movement in 500+ cities — but Toronto remains its heart. ❤️
