JAN GEHL ON THE HUMAN SCALE OF CITIES
Inspiring talk by Danish architect, author and urban consultant Jan Gehl, one of the very few out there that study human behaviour in relation to the urban environment on the small scale. Every time, his words impress me.
He sees the city as being built at a city scale, site scale, and people scale, but feels that most architects and urban planners completely ignore the people scale. They create cities from an aerial view and ignore the life between buildings that truly makes the space work. In his practice he seeks to re-orient the city away from cars and towards the pedestrian and cyclist in order to make healthy and happy cities.Related post:

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
