Jacobs is a name associated with engaging studies of cities, the struggle for their urban life, and meaningful contributions to the field of urban theory and urban studies. Her life and work has had a huge impact on the way we perceive and design cities. Let's delve into Jacobs's biography and consider her extraordinary achievements.

Jane was born on May 4, 1916 in Philadelphia, USA. Her early years were spent in a burger family and her focus was on education and observing the world around her. Already in childhood, she was interested in the life of the city, its streets, parks and architecture. This interest became the basis for her future career.

After graduating from high school, Jane attended the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied rural and urban planning. She also began her journalism career writing articles for local newspapers and magazines. Her passion for studying urban life and her ability in writing began to manifest itself.

After moving to New York in 1934, Jane was actively involved in the struggle to preserve and improve the urban environment. She joined various community organizations and became an important figure in the movement to preserve historic neighborhoods and parks.

Her first book, which brought her worldwide fame, was "Death and Life of Big American Cities" (1961). In this work, Jacobs explored the dynamics of urban life and questioned many existing stereotypes and concepts about urbanization. She argued that mixed residential and commercial areas, living street life and many other aspects make cities more picturesque and viable.

Jane has also written many other books and articles dealing with urban life and urban studies, including "Urban Battles" and "Everyday Heroes and Architectural Mephites." Her work was read by millions of people and became a classic in urban theory.
