is jane jacobs or le corbusier right about city development?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

I prefer Jane Jacobs over le Corbusier.

Generally, the city is a place where people live, and they create the city as an organic growth, reflecting the interplay between theri needs and wants, on the one hand, and the environment (e.g., impact of riverways, landforms, etc..) The city is not a machine subject to overly-rational design by a single creator or engineer. In Le Corbusier's designs for a city, what you saw was a coldly, rational, die-stamped approach to treating life as something that could be manipulated so completely as to eliminate (or hide) individual variation and randomness.
