How do the spaces that surround us enhance or disturb our interactions with others? How can we make our streets more accessible by foot or bike? Through his world acclaimed work, Gehl has been leading a revolution in urban planning that has been transforming cities worldwide. From the expanded pedestrian spaces in New York's Union Square, to Copenhagen's famed bike lanes, to the rebuilding of earthquake devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, Gehl's team bring real solutions that promise a more humanistic dimension to cities where people are not displaced by congested streets, skyscrapers, and the car-centric urbanism of the 1960s and '70s.

Stunningly photographed, THE HUMAN SCALE travels around the world to explore how Gehl and other like minded designers, city planners, and urban activists have begun to transform such cities as New York, Beijing, Christchurch, and London.

Reviews
"The Human Scale illustrates the spread and value of Professor Gehl's ideas beyond his transformation of his hometown Copenhagen to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and North America. As we need to double our urban capacity by 2050, we all should become students of the city. Through this film, Professor Gehl and his colleagues help teach us how to look at cities very carefully and to better understand how they work. The Human Scale is a terrific teaching tool for classes in city planning, urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture as well as for the broader public."
