More than 50 years ago in 1971 Jan Gehl published the seminal book Life Between Buildings and in doing so became the Godfather of a whole new thinking about the design and development of cities. Gehl’s first book and subsequent publications sparked a showdown with the car-centric cities of the 1950s and ‘60s and began mapping and describing people-friendly interventions in the infrastructure of cities.
In conversation with long-time friend and fellow urban designer Rob Adams, Jan Gehl will share more than 50 years of experience in designing cities for people.
