Less attention has been paid to her subsequent works on cities and economies; \u003ci\u003eExploring the Thought of Jane Jacobs\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to remedy that neglect. With careful attention to context, Richard Keeley explores Jacobs's understanding of streets and neighborhoods in cities great and small and her vision of the city as an organism extended through generations. He examines Jacobs's theories on the dynamics of economic development, the ethics of the workplace, and the difficulties of ethical business practice. He concludes with a reflection in Jacobsian terms on the need for a politics of place spanning generations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Keeley\u003c\/b\u003e, before his retirement, \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eserved as Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduates in the Carroll School of Management and Director of Programs for the Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics at Boston College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53347037806957,"sku":"9780761874898","price":53.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/XhV_3UcP649780761874898.webp?v=1779112518","url":"https:\/\/cleanfreaklab.myshopify.com\/products\/exploring-the-thought-of-jane-jacobs-the-conversation-of-cities-paperback","provider":"Clean Freak Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
