Ya should. I haven't read all of it (an urban planner's sin, I know, but I've put it on the top of my reading list) but basically she explains why most theories and policies up to that point completely forget why they exist: to create better urban life for people. She brought planning back to a human scale, based on interaction between people and the safety of the crowds instead of individualistic safety-bubble enlarging movements. Here's the intro which is a clear indication of what the book's about. Also, tell me when you find that SA article, I'd like to read it too.
