For more than forty years Jan Gehl has helped to transform urban
environments around the world based on his research into the ways
people actually use – or could use – the spaces where they
live and work. In this revolutionary book, Gehl presents his latest
work creating (or recreating) cityscapes on a human scale. He clearly
explains the methods and tools he uses to reconfigure unworkable
cityscapes into the landscapes he believes they should be: cities for
people. Taking into account changing demographics and changing
lifestyles, Gehl explains how to develop cities that are lively, safe,
sustainable, and healthy.
