Jane’s Walk Milwaukee Mission
To embody urban activist Jane Jacobs’ legacy by organizing free, resident-led neighborhood explorations and building community connections through: observation and dialogue, education and storytelling, and collectively reimagining and changing the places in which residents in and around Milwaukee live, work, and play.

We envision a Milwaukee area that has, to borrow from Jane Jacob’s The Death and Life of Great American Cities, “the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, [it is] created by everybody.”

We also envision a community that addresses segregation, gentrification, and livability together, and values all residents in all neighborhoods.
