Planning + human behaviour studies is basically why I went back to school.  Just wanna be Jan Gehl when I grow up

I looked at Jan Gehl in my place making module and I am now a fan!  Want to read more of his books!

Danish architect Jan Gehl is improving quality of life in cities across the globe, taking the focus away from the car and putting it back on people, with pedestrianised streets and improved cycling infrastructure. Calling itself “consultants in urban quality”, Gehl Architects works to return a human scale to public spaces. Monocle met Gehl at his Copenhagen offices to learn more about his company’s vision.
