This document discusses urban designer Jan Gehl's views on public spaces and outdoor environments as presented in his book "Life Between Buildings." Gehl believes that enhancing public spaces through environmental design and activities can counter issues with how people use outdoor space. He advocates for walkable cities and reminds that humans are meant to walk at a natural speed and perceive the world horizontally, allowing people to socialize as they move through well-designed public areas.

Man was made to walk”, Gehl reminds us. “All our senses are made for being a walking animal – for that speed, for that horizontal perception – and when we are in that natural environment that we are meant for, then we can watch and talk and kiss as we were meant to as human beings” Photo courtesy Department of Transport (DOT).
