For almost two decades, Gehl has pioneered a necessary development of the modernist tradition. With a clear focus on everyday life and a fundamental interest in human living conditions and needs, Gehl have repeatedly demonstrated how it is possible to create attractive urban spaces with a holistic outlook.
