Jane Jacobs, one of the most interesting writers on urban environments, [has died](http://www.cbc.ca/toronto/story/to%5Fjacobs20060425.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), aged 89\. She was the author of books such as *the Death and Life of Great American Cities* and *Dark Age Ahead*, both of which I recommend highly.

The world is poorer for her passing, but richer for her writing.
