The Human Scale: Bringing Cities to Life (DVD)
Director: Andreas Dalsgaard
By 2050, 80 percent of the world?s population will live in urban areas. Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in urban areas for more than 40 years, and documented how modern cities repel human interaction. In this film, he argues that cities can be built in such a way that the human needs for inclusion and intimacy are taken into account. Frederick Steiner, Dean of the University of Texas? School of Architecture writes, ?Through this film, professor Gehl and his colleagues help teach us how to look at cities very carefully and to better understand how they work.?
