Jane Jacobs

One thing that really interested me in our class discussion was the talk about what Jane Jacobs thinks about the night life of a city. She talks about how the night life such as bars and clubs have become mainstream in the city. The bars and clubs are very popular with young adults.
With so many young adults going to clubs and bars in the city it leads to marketing. The gathering of the young adults leads to marketing of alcohol, drugs, sex, tobacco, and even marketing of themselves. With all of the different trends all coming together in the city, the different trends will blend and cause certain fashions to excel. Jane Jacobs criticizes the way that these trends and fashions are marketed. She talks about the zones of marketing and how they tend to pop up in night life. This seemed very interesting to me because I am a young adult and soon will be going to bars and clubs and I want to see how these places are portrayed.
