Cities for People ~ Jan Gehl, Urban Superhero...

Cooper-Hewitt featured an exhibit on Why Design Now? and this talk on Cities for People by Danish urban superhero designer Jan Gehl...

"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, Cities for People, 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."
