Jane Jacobs was a journalist and activist who criticized the top-down approach to urban planning that characterized both Le Corbusier's vision and Robert Moses' projects. She argued for a more bottom-up, incremental approach that preserved the diversity and vitality of existing communities. Edmund N. Bacon and Lewis Mumford were also critics of modernist urban planning, but Jacobs was the most prominent and influential.
