Location: 209 Ashmont Street, Dorchester

The Dorchester Speakers Forum will presents a panel discussion this Friday evening entitled "50 Years Later: Jane Jacobs’ The Death and Life of Great American Cities", a look back at the seminal work of one of the country’s most influential urban planning activists, against the backdrop of Boston’s own development over the past half century.

Former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, author Glenna Lang, and architect David Lee will comprise the panel, which will be moderated by developer and long-time Dorchester resident Frank Keefe. The program is free and open to the public and takes place in Peabody Hall at All Saints Church, 209 Ashmont St., Dorchester (near the corner of Dorchester Ave., next to Ashmont Station) on Friday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7. There is ample free parking in the church parking lot.

An audience Q & A will follow the presentation. Copies of the 50th Anniversary edition of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, as well as Lang’s Genius of Common Sense will be available for purchase from the Harvard Book Store at the event. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will go to Dorchester Speakers Forum.
