While less attention has been paid to her six subsequent works on cities and economies, \u003ci\u003eExploring the Thought of Jane Jacobs\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to remedy that neglect. With careful attention to context, Richard Keeley explores Jacobs's understanding of streets and neighborhoods in cities great and small, her vision of the city as an organism extended through generations, the dynamics of economic development, the ethics of the workplace and difficulties of ethical business practice, and the need for a politics of place crossing generations. This work reveals what Jacobs saw as crucial to education and concludes with suggestions of what Jacobs would see as necessary actions for our fraught times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Keeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761874895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761874898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamilton Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Richard Keeley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610953859327,"sku":"9780761874898","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a9998f9-e4c0-4fe4-8766-47c82d3d2419.jpg?v=1764510780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-the-thought-of-jane-richard-keeley-9780761874898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
