Life Between Buildings

"Life Between Buildings" refers to the idea that public spaces, especially those found between buildings, play a crucial role in urban life. Coined by Danish architect Jan Gehl, this concept emphasizes the importance of areas like parks, plazas, and streets for social interactions and community engagement. These spaces encourage people to gather, socialize, and participate in activities, fostering a sense of belonging and vibrancy in urban environments. Gehl argues that well-designed public spaces enhance the quality of life by creating opportunities for connection and promoting active, healthy lifestyles.
