One of Canada's national newspapers, the Globe and Mail, pays tribute to Jane Jacobs with several articles.
"On the one hand, Ms. Jacobs was generally ignored by the intellectual establishments she assailed throughout her career, making little impact on what such establishments call 'the literature.' She remained determinedly marginal both in her point of view and her successive homes -- from Scranton to the Lower East Side to Toronto -- and used the vantage to see through the fog of received wisdom that envelops all establishments. Even as she ascended to the status of iconic iconoclast, Ms. Jacobs remained a consummate outsider.
On the other hand, her most radical early propositions have since become so pervasive and widely accepted, even among those who have never heard of her, that they are now impossible for us to see for what they are: the original ideas of a singular thinker. They are like the molecules of the air we breathe."
