it was probably better that jane wasnt educated as an urbanist, because that way she came into those things as an 'outsider' and her mind was able to organize and understand things without being spoiled by the ideas of the time.

I can’t find any reference to where this Jane Jacob’s stopped highway memorial is in Toronto you mention at 9:01. Do you know where it is?
