The majority of cities are home to humanity. By the middle of the 21st century, the number of urban residents worldwide will continue to grow rapidly, with a total share of over 66 percent of the world's population.

The film "<link https: www.youtube.com external-link-new-window on>The Human Scale" traces the question of how the city can place people - and not buildings or infrastructure - at the centre of its design. In five chapters, the film shows the possibilities and difficulties of humane and environmentally friendly urban planning.

With impressive pictures, director Andreas M. Dalsgaard shows us in "The Human Scale" the vision of a human-friendly city worth living in by the world-famous Danish architect and urban planner Jan Gehl and takes us to Bangladesh, China, the USA and Australia.
