New York University’s Washington Square News reports that Green Party mayoral candidate Billy Talen held a rally at Judson Memorial Church on Tuesday evening to honor Jane Jacobs, “an activist who criticized American urban renewal policies in the 1950s. Jacobs, who died in 2006, passionately fought against large-scale city development projects and expressways and believed cities were built for people instead of cars.” The event “was not just a Jane Jacobs lovefest; it partly served as a campaign rally for Talen.”
