Try living there

29 January 2000

One of the first postmodernist tracts has been reissued. Don’t all yawn at
once: this is Jane Jacobs’s immensely readable The Death and Life of Great
American Cities. First published in 1961, Jacobs blew the whistle on modernist
town planning. A gripping text on why cities should be fit for living in.
Pimlico, £15, ISBN 0712665838.

PERUGIA, ITALY - NOVEMBER 24: Amanda Knox (C) is led away from Perugia's court of Appeal by police officers after the first session of her appeal against her murder conviction on November 24, 2010 in Perugia, Italy. American Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted of the murder of Ms Knox's former British flatmate Meredith Kercher in 2007. Their trial took place in December 2009 with Knox and Sollecito receiving sentences of 26 and 25 years respectively. Rudy Guede, an unemployed man from Ivory Coast, was also convicted of the Meredith Kercher's murder. The case is also forming the basis for a film currently being shot in Italy entitled 'The Amanda Knox Story', with American actress Hayden Panettiere cast as Amanda Knox.
