Expect the Unexpected: a Dinner Party to Honor Jan Gehl
Please join us for a dinner party to honor Danish urbanist, Jan Gehl, at a very special location.
People are drawn to crowded, bustling spaces, where those unpredictable, surprising actors - other human beings - are on center stage.” – Jan Gehl
For over 30 years, Danish architect Jan Gehl has been an advocate of turning vehicle-centric cities into pedestrian- and people-friendly cities. In Copenhagen, all 18 public squares that had been parking lots have been turned back to public squares, and pedestrian streets are thriving for walking, shopping, and people watching.
To honor Professor Gehl we’re reserving Occidental Street — ordinarily used for vehicles — as the location for a unique street dinner party. Come with a big appetite for food and fun and hear “the master of public space” share his observations about how Seattle can become a truly great pedestrian city.
