We welcome Irene Gomez Varo, who is a PhD candidate in Human Geography at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We discuss her article: Jane Jacobs reloaded: A contemporary operationalization of urban vitality in a district in Barcelona published in Cities in 2022 with Xavier Delclòs-Alió and Carme Miralles-Guasch. The article examines the urban vitality of the Nou Barris district in Barcelona according to a revised version of the metrics set out by Jane Jacobs in her 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
