Her 1961 book, "The Death and Live of American Cities" took on New York's Robert Moses and his ilk of uber urban planners. She was perhaps the first, and certainly one of the best, advocates for small neighborhoods within cities...places where stores, restaurants, parks, schools, and housing for all levels of income can all co-exist.
