What if we designed spaces that acknowledged homelessness instead of ignored it? Proud to have partnered with @SPUR_Urbanist on a new whitepaper and toolkit on the topic. Check it out! gehlpeople.com/blog/homeless… @5km_h @eamon_s_oconnor @MHuttenhoff

We stand for justice and rights.
Gehl stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and those marching for justice in the United States and around the world. Until we dismantle systemic racism to ensure everyone is safe in our streets, we haven’t achieved #citiesforpeople.

Arbitrariedad y violacion a los #DDHH en un país donde la justificación de un acto se basa en el nombre de un presidente muerto y no en la ley. Estos desalojos ilegales violan los derechos de Venezolan@s que ahora son migrantes y refugiados y no están en #Vzla para defenderse – at Manhattan, NY
