Victoria-area architects are invited to take part in the third annual urban space exploration in downtown Victoria, part of the international Jane’s Walk series. The details:

• The Places Project: Downtown Places and Passages – a Jane’s Walk
  Saturday, May 4, 2013
  1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
  Meet in the atrium courtyard of the Greater Victoria Public Library – Central Branch, 735 Broughton Street

As many know, Jane’s Walks are citizen-led tours that celebrate Canadian urbanist Jane Jacobs. This event will explore a number of downtown plazas and walkways, observing how space is used, how spaces are connected, and what the potential is for innovative and positive changes in our shared spaces downtown. The walk will amble through a variety of contrasting places downtown and conclude at a coffee shop where the conversation can continue for those who are interested. Participants will be joined by local graphic recorder Tanya Gadsby who will capture ideas and places along the way. Local architects who are also invited to collaborate on planning future events for The Places Project. For more information, please visit rethink urban or jane’s walk.
