Citizen Jane Movie Reflection

This movie is a motivational film. Politicians have citizens believing that they don’t have any say of what goes on in each other neighborhoods. Jane Jacobs had proving that theory wrong and she was no politician, just a neighborhood citizen. Robert Moses has been a threat on tearing down neighborhoods, “slums” is what he called it and built massive freeways to build the city around the automobile, relocated Minorities with low income in those teared down neighborhoods and created a fantasy better place to live which is called the “Projects”, and ripped apart families from one another by profits and greed. Jane Jacobs grew aware that the idea of community in neighborhoods were vanishing before her eyes rapidly. The separation of people, families began to emerge and she vowed to fight for others who felt that they didn’t didn’t have a voice. Stopping Robert Moses from causing more damage to the city then he already with investors, etc. is one of the most accomplished movements of the city. Not only because it was wrong, it was flawed to certain cultures that greatly effects the economy is the long run.
