A City Cannot Be a Work of Art: Sanford Ikeda on Jane Jacobs and Spontaneous Complexity

Our Centers of Progress theme this week has revolved around the history and nature of cities, and their role in promoting values central to free societies –including a respect for liberty, individual rights, free speech, and cosmopolitanism. But putting those values into action is much more complicated than it sounds.

Sanford Ikeda, Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York, Purchase College has a deep knowledge of urban planning with a particular expertise in the work of Jane Jacobs, a giant of twentieth-century theory of urban design. In this episode we focus on how thinking about cities offers a particularly good avenue towards economic and social theory. Professor Ikeda’s work explores how different approaches to the design and growth of cities can either enable or be in tension with individual liberty and human flourishing.
