Therefore, it is a particularly interesting time to revisit some of the ideas of Danish architect and urban planning icon Jan Gehl.ĭirector Andreas Dalsgaard shows stunning images of cities all over the world, with valuable explanations by Jan Gehl himself, as well as from architects working for his urban planning firm, Gehl – Making Cities for People. With Covid-19 transforming urban landscapes all over the world, some of the themes the movie lobbies for – walkability and cyclability, focus on public spaces, green spaces and pedestrianisation – are getting a jump-start. ![]() Even though the movie is now eight years old, it teaches us a lot about liveable cities. ![]() ![]() The Human Scale is a 2012 documentary movie focusing on human-centred cities that are walkable and pleasant to live in. ![]()
