Jane Jacobs had worked as a reporter, stenographer, and freelance writer before she worked as an assistant editor of Architecture Forum. When she was responsible for reporting on urban renewal projects, Jacobs gradually became skeptical about the traditional concept of city planning. She wrote this book in 1961, and published it with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation. Since then, her works began to extend into other fields such as economy, ethics, and social relations. She published many books, which made her one of the most influential urbanists.
Donald Arthur Norman has been named by Businessweek as one of the world’s most influential designers.

The philosophy of design proposed in the book is still relevant, and highly praised by designers.
