Jane Jacobs Vs. Robert Moses: The Opera (Wait, THE OPERA?)

MUSIC Posted: May 5, 2014 5:30 am

“A group of New York artists is working on an opera telling the story of Jacobs’s fight against Moses’s utopian schemes to raze Manhattan neighbourhoods. The battles turned Jacobs, a freelance journalist married to an architect, into an activist and formed her thinking about urban issues articulated in her 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities.”
