Adam Vaughan and Spacing want to name the Toronto Reference Library after Jane Jacobs.
On one hand I think it’s a great idea; on the other I wonder if Jacobs herself would’ve liked it or whether (with her deep distrust of credentials and her belief in natural systems) she’d prefer something a little …wilder.
I don´t think she would have liked it — and I don´t think it´s the right kind of thing to name after her. I could see a park… or square of some sort.
