This book elaborates on many of Gehl's ideas as an observer of urban quality and a philosopher of cities as solutions to the environmental and health crises that we face. He examines some of the world's cities that have successfully improved over the last decades, and compares data on how pedestrians use public spaces in cities in Europe, Australia, and America.
