Places (by Gehl)

Places, by Jan Gehl, refers to the physical environment where people gather, socialize, and experience urban life. It emphasizes creating inviting, safe, and accessible public spaces like parks, squares, and streets that encourage community interaction. Well-designed Places foster a sense of belonging, support pedestrian activity, and enhance overall quality of life. By focusing on human-scale design and prioritizing people over cars, Gehl’s approach aims to make cities more vibrant, livable, and inclusive for all users.
