A Good City: The Short Story - Camilla van Deurs

Do you remember the series of lectures and teachers from your days studying? No? Camilla van Deurs does. She remembers one supervisor and professor in particular: Jan Gehl. Not just for his knowledge, but for the way he communicated it. Jan Gehl let the conclusions from his research wander like anecdotes and repeated them until they stuck. From lecturer to student. From one generation of architects and urban planners to the next. 'Good City – The Short Version' is a collection of 24 short stories in which Gehl’s research work is translated into easy-to-understand reflections on city life. About the divide between architecture and urban planning on the drawing board and the concrete, lived city. About small spaces and big experiences.
