Times Square, NY public plaza

At the heart of the best urban design projects is a deep understanding of how people actually use urban spaces. Architect Jan Gehl and public space expert Birgitte Svarre, co-authors of How to Study Public Life, offer principles and research to guide the study of public life in urban settings and how to use the findings to create livable, safe, sustainable, and healthy cities. A book signing follows the talk.

This program is presented in partnership with the Embassy of Denmark and the D.C. Environmental Film Festival.
