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. The book is extensively illustrated with over 700 photos and
drawings of examples from Gehl’s work around the globe.
