For more than fifty 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. “Cities for people” explains that urban function is to serve people. The author gives solutions to help the city to develop in a lively, safe, sustainable and healthier way.
