Jacobs herself did not use that meme.
“Jacobs herself did not use that meme”
According to the author Peter Moskowitz:
-—In the book, Jacobs argued that the preceding century of urban planning had essentially “arisen on a foundation of nonsense”—that the old, white men who advocated for highways and high-rises, wide streets and buildings set back from sidewalks by acres of grass, were not only clueless but were actively destroying American cities.-—
While that was not a direct quote in this article, it was certainly believed to be her ‘meme’ by the author, either because he already understands Jacob’s attitude, or knew of her saying as much elsewhere.
I will have to disagree with you here.
