Dear network,

On the 4th of June, the Lecture Committee of the Faculty Association Ibn Battuta had the honor to host the famous Danish architect Jan Gehl for the yearly W.J. van den Bremenlecture. A spatial planners’ hero, known for his books Cities for People and Life Between Buildings. Gehl enlightened over 300 visitors with his knowledge of livable cities in the 21st century. This memorable evening full of interaction and laughter is immortalized in photo and video.
