Life Between Buildings: Using Public Space

Gehl observes carefully, draws conclusions wisely, expresses himself clearly and simply. He leads the reader to ponder fundamental values in the building of homes and cities. He favors the human dimension and promotes human values as opposed to the monumental or merely decorative.

Had been looking for this classic book for months now, and finally it got reprinted - and is available at very reasonable price. Anyone with an interest in urban design and life in cities will find this book an excellent guide and source of inspiration.

An eye-opener and good start into the world of urbanizm and public space planning. A must read for anyone who wants to be an architect.

Good

Anyone who calls him/herself an urban planner or urban designer needs to be familiar with the work of this author.

El libro llegó rápido y en buenas condiciones. El contenido es bue, nos ayuda a ver el espacio de otra manera

This was one of the books I read to support my thesis work. It was fascinating to read the author's observations and propositions about public spaces. Reading it was a happy memory.

Of course, brilliant. This is a modestly-produced book, not very shiny, not even very eloquent, but the ideas are powerful.

The book reads like lecture notes, but doesn't supply the evidence to support his claims.The references used are mostly the standard ones to support street-live oriented planning. It is interesting to see not one street scene from a truly high density environment, if I am not mistaken.Surprisingly for a book on architecture, it is awkward to read with a too narrow margin, and generally small images.
