Urban sustainable behaviour
How can we create cities and neighbourhoods that invites for everyday sustainable use?
Through introduction of Gehl’s approach to working with cities and illustrated with projects spanning from large scale urban strategies in major cities like Shanghai, to rethinking the process around how we plan new neighbourhoods in Europe, Kristian will reflect on the importance of understanding the link between life, sustainability and cities.
