Based on the work of famed architect and urban planner Jan Gehl and his visionary work transforming urban environments from traffic-congested streets and cold urban landscapes into havens for people and real human interaction.

Gehl has been leading a revolution in urban planning that has been transforming cities worldwide. From the expanded pedestrian spaces in New York`s Times Square, to Copenhagen`s famed bike lanes, to the rebuilding of earthquake devastated Christchurch New Zealand, Gehl`s team bring real solutions that promise a more humanistic dimension to cities where people are not displaced by congested streets, skyscrapers, and the car-centric urbanism of the 1960s and '70s.

Andreas Dalsgaard`s stunningly photographed film travels around the world to explore how Gehl`s vision of a human megacity-intimate, lively, safe, sustainable and healthy-is being implemented in cities around the world.
