Abstract

This is a book of quite exceptional importance for those who wish to deepen their understanding of the purposes of community planning and architecture. In 1971, the year of the first edition, Jan Gehl was one of those lone protagonists for the humane values that he so excellently studies, formulates, and illustrates. Since my first acquaintance with Jan Gehl and his thoughts, I have felt a deep kinship with and a respect for his insight into how architecture can serve people well. More than a decade later we can discern an increased interest among architects and others in these values he so eminently defends. Further, over the years Jan Gehl's message has been developed with increased concentration and here achieves the characteristic of timeless truth. As before, this is a book that is a great inspiration to me in my work, and I look upon it as one of the classics for all professional or amateur students of architecture and community building, regardless of their age and background, or how short or long their experience may be. It is of the utmost importance that we are constantly reminded that the so useful art of architecture achieves its greatest potential when it is most beautifully attuned not only to spectacular special needs but also to the undramatic and even intimate everyday needs of people when they are functioning individually or in groups. It is also essential that we remember that it is the everyday situations that are important and that shape the major part of our lives and our cities. Jan Gehl reminds us of this in a fascinating, pleasurable, and comprehensible way. It is gratifying to think that now, when translated into English, his wisdom will be accessible to more people than before. (extrait du 4ème de couverture)

Abstract

Achteraf gezien en alles wel beschouwd, kan men de stadsplanning van de laatste 50 jaar moeilijk als een onbetwist succes omschrijven. De reden daarvoor is eenvoudig: stedelijke ruimte en stadsleven stonden niet bepaald bovenaan de agenda van de stads- en verkeersplanners. Jarenlang bestond er nauwelijks interesse voor de manier waarop fysieke structuren het menselijk gedrag beïnvloeden. Men zag onvoldoende in dat het stadsleven een vitale stedelijke functie is, die professionele omzichtigheid en een zorgvuldige planning vereist. Vandaag de dag speelt het stadsleven een hoofdrol bij de planning van steden en bebouwde gebieden. Steden over de hele wereld ondernemen aanzienlijke pogingen om de droom van een betere mensenstad waar te maken. Deze belangrijke koers- en mentaliteitswijziging is voor een groot stuk te danken aan Jan Gehl. Al meer dan een halve eeuw buigt deze invloedrijke en gelauwerde Deense architect zich over de vraag hoe we steden kunnen vormgeven als prettige leefomgevingen waarin de inwoners centraal staan. Hoe kunnen we steden op een menselijke schaal (her)maken? Hoe zorgen we voor steden die uitnodigen om te wandelen, te fietsen, te lopen, te spelen en te wonen? Ook in het boek Steden voor mensen staan deze vragen centraal. Zoals de titel al aangeeft, belicht Jan Gehl in dit inspirerende boek de methodes en de instrumenten die hij gebruikt om mensonvriendelijke steden om te vormen tot steden voor mensen. Rekening houdende met demografische evoluties en veranderende levensstijlen, legt de auteur uit hoe men steden kan ontwikkelen die levendig, veilig, duurzaam en gezond zijn. Door steden letterlijk op ooghoogte te bekijken, slaagt Jan Gehl er zelfs in om de grootste metropool op een kleine schaal te benaderen. Door de verschillende hoofdstukken heen pleit Gehl er bovendien voor om de stad te beleven vanuit de vijf menselijke zintuigen, om de stad al wandelend te ervaren (en dus niet vanuit een auto, een bus of een trein). Hij illustreert hoe die kleinschalige visie al te vaak genegeerd wordt in hedendaagse projecten. Een laatste hoofdstuk is een pleidooi voor stadsplanning op een menselijke schaal in de snelgroeiende steden van de ontwikkelingslanden. Een instrumentarium boordevol grondbeginselen, heldere overzichten van gebruikte methodes en trefwoordenlijsten sluit dit boek af. Steden voor mensen bevat meer dan 700 fotos en tekeningen die Gehls wereldwijde invloed en werk illustreren.

Abstract

The city is an always changing human experiment. But in the last half century, it has changed more than ever before - with little sign of slowing down. As this phenomenon takes place, an increasing number of architects, innovators and policy-makers are rethinking the city to make the most of space and resources. This book chronicles the design of urban futures. From apps designed to curb food waste to inventive fresh water infrastructure, The Ideal City explores the many initiatives and experiments, all with the shared goal of making the cities of tomorrow a happier, healthier and more inclusive place to be.

Abstract

How do we accommodate a growing urban population in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inviting? This question is becoming increasingly urgent to answer as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centers of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been examining this question since the 1960s, when few urban designers or planners were thinking about designing cities for people. But given the unpredictable, complex and ephemeral nature of life in cities, how can we best design public infrastructure—vital to cities for getting from place to place, or staying in place—for human use? Studying city life and understanding the factors that encourage or discourage use is the key to designing inviting public space. In How to Study Public Life Jan Gehl and Birgitte Svarre draw from their combined experience of over 50 years to provide a history of public-life study as well as methods and tools necessary to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. This type of systematic study began in earnest in the 1960s, when several researchers and journalists on different continents criticized urban planning for having forgotten life in the city. City life studies provide knowledge about human behavior in the built environment in an attempt to put it on an equal footing with knowledge about urban elements such as buildings and transport systems. Studies can be used as input in the decision-making process,  as part of overall planning, or in designing individual projects such as streets, squares or parks. The original goal is still the goal today: to recapture city life as an important planning dimension. Anyone interested in improving city life will find inspiration, tools, and examples in this invaluable guide.
