People Cities: The Life and Legacy of Jan Gehl Annie Matan, Peter Newman, "People Cities: The Life and Legacy of Jan Gehl " English | ISBN: 1610917146 | 2016 | EPUB | 192 pages | 15,3 MB “A good city is like a good party—you stay for longer than you plan,” says Danish architect Jan Gehl. He believes that good architecture is not about form, but about the interaction between form and life. Over the last 50 years, Gehl has changed the way that we think about architecture and city planning—moving from the Modernist separation of uses to a human-scale approach inviting people to use their cities. At a time when growing numbers are populating cities, planning urban spaces to be humane, safe, and open to all is ever-more critical. With the help of Jan Gehl, we can all become advocates for human-scale design. Jan’s research, theories, and strategies have been helping cities to reclaim their public space and recover from the great post-WWII car invasion. His work has influenced public space improvements in over 50 global cities, including New York, London, Moscow, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Sydney, and the authors’ hometown of Perth. While much has been written by Jan Gehl about his approach, and by others about his influence, this book tells the inside story of how he learned to study urban spaces and implement his people-centered approach. 人民城市从在全球范围内与他合作的人的角度讨论了Jan Gehl的工作，理论，生活和影响。作者Matan和Newman庆祝Jan在将城市规划范式从抽象的，意识形态的现代主义转变为以人为本的运动中的作用。它围绕着该运动的创造进行组织，使用Jan的工作生涯中的关键时期作为结构。 人民城市将激励任何想要创建充满活力的人文城市的人，并了解建筑师的想法和工作，他们最能影响我们应该如何设计城市并为人们设计城市。
