ResumoThe work of Jan Gehl aims to revitalise cities through more walkable urban design. His Public Spaces Public Life (PSPL) surveys provide momentum and support for a larger movement towards sustainable transport modes and have been conducted in over 40 global cities. Central to Gehl’s PSPL is pedestrian-based transport planning and urban design that is explicitly pro-urban, showing how car-based planning destroys city centres. He has had a profound and growing impact on Australian cities.
