What was the essence of Lewis Mumford's critique of the attack his former disciple, Jane Jacobs, made on him and his co-thinkers in the RPAA, in her book, THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES?

⚪ Jacobs fails to understand the vital importance of city life to human society.

⚪ By openly stating, in this Introduction, that she would not deal with the "deep problems" of the Big City, Jacobs goes along with, and even promotes, the very same market forces that are destroying it.

⚪ Jacobs believes that a different, more democratic, humane form of planning can be substituted for Moses' bureaucratic planning.

⚪ Jacobs lacks a class analysis for understanding the destructive nature of Robert Moses' planning.

 

QUESTION 4

In 100 words or more, tell your ignorant kid sister about the debate that occurred over urban planning between Moses, Jacobs, and Mumford. For the toolbar, press ALT + F10 (PC) or ALT + FN + F10 (Mac).
