Public Sticky notes
Jacobs challenged assumptions she believed damaged modern cities: that neighborhoods should be isolated from each other; that an empty thoroughfare is safer than one teeming with life; that the car represents progress; and that long straight streets were better than short winding ones.

"She was very straightforward, very curious about the world. She was always saying `what's going on?', 'so what's the news?' 'what have you been doing?' Just so curious about how things worked.
