Jane's Walk Bridgeport

Join us for Jane’s Walk, an event where the unique story of how we see, interact with, and feel about our city will be explored on film, on foot, and through collaborative discussion.

​

We have held “Jane’s Walks Bridgeport” for the last eight years – building on the international Jane’s Walk event inspired by the urban activist Jane Jacobs, whose focus on human-centered and community-led neighborhood development has made a lasting imprint on how cities are planned and built.

​

The afternoon of activities kicks off with a walking and roller skating tour of the neighborhood, exploring Jane Jacob’s approach to community-led, human-centered design. Expert guides will take you through an exploration of colorful Downtown Bridgeport, its history, and unique places.

​

The walking tour will end at the Post Office Square, where event attendees will be invited to a free skate at our very own Skateport. Later in the afternoon, we will also screen the film The Street Project, which advances the community-driven city building principles championed by Jane Jacobs through the lens of roller skating. We will end the evening at Berlinetta Brewing for the Jane’s Walk Happy Hour to listen to great music, connect with neighbors, and contribute to thoughtful conversations about creative, community-driven city building.

Our Jane’s Walk event was made possible by our partners who created this celebration of Downtown Bridgeport, community-driven city building, and creating connections between neighbors: Art Simplicated, Bridgeport Generation Now, Bridgeport Public Library, and the Mosaic Coalition.
