Meet top expert, architect and planner Jan Gehl, who is based in Copenhagen. With his consultancy, Gehl Architects, he has been highly-influential in making Copenhagen one of the most livable cities in the world.
Hear Gehl speak about his experience working on projects around the world and his ideas for making cycling and walking part of a more livable Capital Region.
Recently the consultancy he leads has been highly involved in the transformation of New York City. It has resulted in the permanent transition of Times Square toward a car-free pedestrian area. And NYC is now a city where European-style cycling lanes are becoming more prevalent.
