In our first episode in English, we talk to Liselott Stenfeldt about using design to promote sustainable behavior in cities. Liselott is director for innovation at Gehl, a human-centered urban consulting company based in Copenhagen, New York and San Francisco. Her focus is to create better cities for people and to create beneficial relationships between people’s quality of life and their built environment.

In this episode, we talk about how the design of a city influences the behavior of the people living in a city and how cities can be designed in a way that invites people to choose the sustainable option. We discuss what organizations can learn from experiences in urban development and how the current pandemic has changed peoples needs and they way they move within a city.
