Jan Gehl

Danish Architect and Urban Designer, founder of Gehl Architects and Gehl Institute. World renowned thought-leader on human scale design of cities and how the Copenhagen model has been so successful at creating more walkable, sustainable, equitable, and enjoyable cities.

Crosses bridge between Urban Planning and Architecture worlds - kept mostly separate in Taubman - so will have wide appeal to student body. Also, Jan is a veteran of public presentations around the world and gives a compelling, yet succinct showcase into his work and how it can be adapted to local contexts.
