In the 1960s, Copenhagen was an industrial city dominated by cars. Today, it ranks among the best places to live. The documentary captures how visionary urbanist Jan Gehl and his talented partner David Sim transformed a neglected city into a space for people with pedestrian zones, cycling infrastructure, and vibrant squares. Through interviews with architects and planners, it shows that the principles of a “city for people” are universal and can also serve as a guide for cities in Slovakia. The film tells an inspiring story about the power of public spaces and proves that any city can undergo a similar transformation.

After the screening, Zuzana Duchová (editor-in-chief of Koncept magazine) will talk to the filmmakers Igor Bubeník and Jakub Otčenáš.
