![]() ![]() After presenting the case studies, the narrative of the two cities’ urban design policies in relation to Gehl’s ideas is discussed in an effort to draw out broader implications and suggest future avenues for research. ![]() The issue is then further explored using a qualitative case study approach, looking at the cities of Adelaide and Melbourne, both state capitals that have employed the consultancy Gehl Architects in the last two decades to perform public life studies and make recommendations. Gehl’s ideas themselves are critiqued and related to relevant concepts from urban design and planning, along with some of the barriers that mitigate their implementation. This project is centred around the ideas of Danish architect and urban designer Jan Gehl, and whether his ideas for ‘people-centred’, ‘humanistic’ cities are relevant and possible to implement in Australian cities. ![]()
