Want to bring Jane’s Walk to your City?

Jane’s Walk is a celebration of people and cities taking place all around the world on the first weekend of May, to coincide with Jane Jacobs’ birthday. Through the simple act of walking together and discussing what makes a neighbourhood, Jane’s Walk helps knit people together into strong and resourceful communities. Created in 2007 in Toronto by friends of the urban thinker Jane Jacobs, the event has grown from 27 walks to over 500, from Calgary to Canberra and Guelph to Guadalajara.

“Jane’s Walk is an interesting, easy and effective engagement tool—simple ask, no cost, big response from community. People were thrilled that hundreds of others were taking part in the walks across Canada” – Guelph Organizers

Jane’s Walk has rapidly grown into an established international movement and has already become an integral part of the event calendar in many cities. Anyone can offer to lead a Jane’s Walk, and City Organizers play an essential part in providing coordination and advice to Walk Leaders. They also help promote Jane’s Walk locally and collect feedback from participants.

The Jane’s Walk Project Office provides resources and services to support City Organizers around the world. We are a small team, but we love to share what we learned over the years to help you organize a successful event.
