For those of you who live in the Albuquerque area, this will be our fourth year of holding in-person Jane’s Walks in Albuquerque. The walks will be held on the weekend of May 3 and 4 and will feature six different Albuquerque neighborhoods. There are a total of ten separate walks.
For more information and to register for a walk, please visit the Jane’s Walks webpage on this website. If you’re using your Mobile Device, hold it in Landscape Mode to load the page. Walks are filling up fast so please register soon.
Jane’s Walks are held in over 200 cities worldwide to celebrate walkable urban neighborhoods and are named after the celebrated urbanist Jane Jacobs. Her 1960s book – Death and Life of Great American Cities – was a wakeup call to protect walkable urban neighborhoods.
In past years we have held walks in the Wells Park/Mountain Road area. Those will be held in conjunction with the Grand Opening (expected to be sometime in June) of the newly reconstructed Wells Park (between 5th and 6th Streets on the north side of Mountain Road).
Hope to see you in May. If you can’t join us in May, you can find maps and descriptions of previous year’s walks on Jane’s Walk webpage to walk them at your leisure. Again, if you’re using a Mobile Device, hold it in Landscape Mode to load the page.
