Gehl (euroGel '06) on Times Square
Jan Gehl, euroGel '06 speaker (see video clip) and renowned urban designer, was in New York this week giving his vision for Times Square.
From International urban whiz would ban cars in Times Square:
Times Square is "beyond the brink" with too many cars and pedestrians cramming into an inadequate amount of space, Gehl said.
"We could take all of the pedestrians out of Times Square or we could take some or most of the traffic out - whatever," Gehl said. "I think that should be the strategy for reducing the vehicular traffic in this dense city."
