Jan Gehl: First Life, Then Spaces, Then Buildings - The Other Way Around Never Works 

Jan Gehl is the father of people centered design. His book "Life Between Buildings" has inspired architects and urbanists for decades, and remains one of the discipline's most influential books. We had the chance to interview him after his keynote "Cities for People - 50 Years Later" at the UIA 2023 World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen, to talk about people, cities, data, and the radical transformation of New York's Times Square.
