Episode Summary
We sat down with Jeff Risom who is the Chief Innovation Officer at Gehl to explore design methods in urban planning and sustainable city building. His unique perspective as an American who has lived in Copenhagen for the better part of 20 years is fascinating.
Listen as we dig into the innovative system-living methodology, its impact on our daily lives, and how that ties into human health, sustainability, and economic development.
