To encourage the effective design of public space, Gehl Architects has made a checklist of 12 qualities that public spaces should aspire to. These, he clusters under the categories of “Protection”, “Comfort” and “Delight”. They make sense on an experiential level. If you want to do an interesting exercise keep this checklist handy the next time you go on a walk around your neighbourhood.
