Some quotes that resonated with me that reflect the theory of cities for people and the politics of getting there: He has expertise in the political and technical aspects of making cities for people. Andreas Røhl was formerly the director of cycling strategy for the city of Copenhagen and spent a year in Vancouver as well. The firm focuses on strategy, vision and conceptual design more than the technical details. His work has integrated the concepts of mobility and public space and the disciplines of design and engineering. Jan Gehl is famous for the concept of cities for people rather than buildings and thinking about the life and space between buildings. After 4 months in Sweden, 2 years of pandemic, and rapidly accelerating impacts of climate change, I’m taking away different messages than my first trip 3 years ago. We visited many of the same places in 2019, but with different presenters. As we settled into the week, we built up to several different lectures with professionals at the city, consulting firms, and conversations with local residents.
