	Description:		To understand the stories we'll tell on Placemakers, you must understand the ultimate placemaker: Jane Jacobs. She lacked formal training in city planning but became an urban visionary who promoted dense, mixed-use neighborhoods where people interacted on the street. She also became the nemesis of New York master builder Robert Moses. On our inaugural episode, we'll explore Jacobs' legacy and how the ideas and ideals of "Saint Jane" hold up today.
