Over 40 walking and cycling tours take place across Vancouver this weekend in honour of renowned urban activist Jane Jacobs. Led by local historians and urban planners, the tours explore the planning decisions and community processes that have shaped everything from the geography of Wreck Beach to the plight of the Downtown Eastside.
