Cities for People

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 more than 700 photos and
drawings of examples from Gehl’s work around the globe.
