Cities for people: A lecture by Jan Gehl

‘Jan Gehl is our greatest observer of urban quality and an indispensable philosopher of cities as solutions to the environmental and health crises that we face,’ according to Janette Sadik-Khan, commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation. Renowned Danish architect Jan Gehl, a frequent visitor to Melbourne, discusses his new book, Cities for People, his lifelong experience of urban development and the increasing connections between physical form and human behaviour.
Presented by City of Melbourne, May 2011

Mr. Gehl is a fantastic voice on this subject! Clear, concise, and very personable. Wish there were more videos of his talks online.

24:55 The good architecture is not about form it is about the interaction between form and life, that's what makes good architecture and that has not been studied very much.
