As always, spaces for Jane's Walks are filling up fast. Jane's Walk is an annual series of free, volunteer-led urban walks that honour urbanist, journalist, author, and activist Jane Jacobs (4 May 1916 - 25 April 2006), and her efforts to champion the voices of the masses in neighbourhood planning and city-building.

This May will mark Jane’s Walk Singapore's 7th annual series of walks. Sixteen Walk Leaders have stepped forward to offer 18 walks, covering themes such as architecture, the creation of public spaces with conserved buildings, gentrification, migrant workers, and the achievements of outstanding Singaporean women.

Jane's Walks usually take place on the first weekend of May, which is Jacobs' birth month, but walks planned this year will extend across more weekends in May.

The following walks are already full, a combination of popularity, small quotas, and the growing awareness of the invaluable knowledge that Jane's Walks can impart:

- Walking in their Sandals, about migrant workers' lives as illustrated by Farrer Park and Little India.

- Walking in the Footsteps of Our Foremothers, around the Waterloo area and the Civic District.

- Luv Wild Faber Trek over the Telok Blangah Hills (this one always sells out very quickly)
 
- Sails and Ships of Steel and Glass on Reclaimed Land: A Historical Walk around Marina Bay
