In a world where half of the population lives in cities-a figure that some estimate will increase to 80% in the next 40 years- how should our urban areas be structured? Following the work of Danish architect Jan Gehl, who has studied human behavior in cities for the past 40 years, this thought-provoking documentary examines life in some of the fastest-growing cities around the globe to make a case for urban planning that prioritizes people over cars. “The Human Scale” is a beautiful and haunting look at the impending issue of overpopulation, offering an alternative to a future of corporate-backed megacities.
