The fact that the book is published in Danish, English and Chinese simultaneously, which for any book on urban planning is an astounding fact, underlines the importance this book carries with it. Among several Lord Richard Rogers has endorsed the book:‘No one has examined the morphology and use of public space to the extent that Jan Gehl has. Any-one who reads this book will get a valuable insight into his astonishingly perceptive understanding of the relationship between public spaces and civic society, and how the two are inextricably intertwined.’Lord Richard Rogers, London, United Kingdom
