The Municipal Art Society writes, “This year The Rockefeller Foundation is giving $200,000 to honor two individuals with the 2011 Jane Jacobs Medal. The Jane Jacobs Medal is a project created by The Rockefeller Foundation, and administered by the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS). Each year, the Medal is awarded to two individuals whose creative vision for the urban environment has significantly contributed to the vibrancy and variety of New York City. The Medal is given in two categories: Lifetime Leadership and New Ideas & Activism. The Rockefeller Foundation and MAS are currently holding a call for nominations for the 2011 Jane Jacobs Medal.”
