The Transport Hartford Academy continues to do important work. Join THA on June 4th for a fun and informal book club discussion of the seminal urban design book by Jane Jacobs, The Life and Death of Great American Cities. Invite friends by sharing the Facebook event. Written in 1961, the book is full of human insight and even near poetic descriptions of how a vibrant and healthy city functions.
