What is Citizen Jane: Battle for the City about? Toggle content

In the 1960s, urban activist Jane Jacobs fought against the ruthless redevelopment of New York City by urban planner Robert Moses. While Moses sought to modernize the city by building highways and skyscrapers, Jacobs advocated for the preservation of historic buildings, parks, and communities. Through her book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," Jacobs challenged the conventional wisdom of urban planning and inspired a movement to rethink the way cities are designed. In "Citizen Jane: Battle for the City," documentarian Matt Tyrnauer examines the battle between Jacobs and Moses, revealing how their conflicting visions for the city still shape its landscape today.
