LEARNING FROM COPENHAGEN

"In Copenhagen, we have pioneered a method of systematically studying and recording people in the city. Aftertwenty years of research, we've been able to prove that these steps have created four times more public life.”– Jan Gehl

COPENHAGEN'S 10-STEP PROGRAM*

1.Convert streets into pedestrian thoroughfares. Thecity turned its traditional main street into a pedestrianthoroughfare in 1962. In succeeding decades they graduallyadded more pedestrian-only streets, linking them to pedestrian-priority streets, where walkers and cyclists have right-of-way

but cars are allowed at low speeds.

2.Reduce trafc and parking gradually. To keep trafcvolume stable, the city reduced the number of cars in the citycenter by eliminating parking spaces at a rate of 2-3 percent

per year. Between 1986 and 1996 the city eliminated about600 spaces.


* Excerpts from an interview with Jan Gehl in Metropolismag (August-September 2002)




3. Turn parking lots into public squares. The act of

creating pedestrian streets freed up parking lots, enabling the cityto transform them into public squares.

4. Keep scale dense and low. Low-slung, densely spacedbuildings allow breezes to pass over them, making the city center

milder and less windy.

5. Honor the human scale. The city's modest scale and streetgrid make walking a pleasant experience; its historic buildings,with their stoops, awnings, and doorways, provide people with

impromptu places to stand and sit.





6. Populate the core. More than 6,800 residents now live in

the city center. They've eliminated their dependence on cars, andat night their lighted windows give visiting pedestrians a feeling ofsafety.

7. Encourage student living. Students who commute to

school on bicycles don't add to trafc congestion; on the contrary,their active presence, day and night, animates the city.

8. Adapt the cityscape to changing seasons. Outdoorcafés, public squares, and street performers attract thousands in

the summer; skating rinks, heated benches, and gas-lit heaters onstreet corners make winters in the city center enjoyable.





9. Promote cycling as a major mode of

transportation. The city established new bike lanes andextended existing ones. They placed bike crossings - using spacefreed up by the elimination of parking - near intersections.Currently 34 percent of Copenhageners who work in the citybicycle to their jobs.

10. Make bicycles available. People can borrow city bikesfor about $2.50; when nished, they simply leave them at any oneof the 110 bike stands located around the city center and theirmoney is refunded.
