Eine kurze Geschichte der guten Stadt

Do you remember the series of lectures and teachers from your university days? No? Camilla van Deurs does. She particularly remembers one teacher and professor, Jan Gehl, not only for his knowledge but also for his ability to communicate it. Jan Gehl presented the key points of his research through anecdotes and repeated them until they became ingrained. From teacher to student. From one generation of architects and urban planners to the next. Die gute Stadt is a collection of 24 short stories in which Gehl's research work is translated into easy-to-understand reflections on city life. Like the staircase – an architecturally designed component, but one that quickly becomes an accumulation of newspapers and shopping bags. About the distinction between architecture and urban planning on the drawing board and the actual, lived city. About small spaces and big experiences. Personal stories of Danish world-renowned city planner Jan GehlCollected with Camilla van Deurs, Copenhavens City ArchitectEasy access to Jan Gehls work with fundamental insights into city development worldwide
