Jane’s Walk began in Toronto in 2007 as a grassroots tribute to Jane Jacobs — the legendary urbanist who championed people-first, community-led cities. 🌆🚶‍♀️ Today, it's a global movement in 500+ cities — but Toronto remains its heart. ❤️ #JanesWalk #WalkWithUs

Walks kick-off today! 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏿🚶🏼‍♂️ With 150+ walks across the city, this is the biggest Jane’s Walk in Toronto’s history — and you're part of it. From stories of hidden histories to bold ideas for the future, these community-led walking conversations bring people together!
