From this video:
Keith Wilkowski I’m holding the most important book ever written about cities.
Obama Is it Jane Jacobs?
Obama goes on to correctly state the main point of two of her later books, The Economy of Cities and Cities and the Wealth of Nations.
I recall you once said that you wished Jane Jacobs could be president (while she was alive, of course).
I don’t remember saying that. But it sounds like something I would say.
