gehlpeople.com At Gehl, our approach to urban design starts from a simple but fundamental
johnfdgehlpeople.com principle: put people at the center of the process and focus on improving the
public life that the city hopes to cultivate. We start by co-creating a vision
with our clients and stakeholders that articulates this public life, prioritizing
the human scale and inviting for positive experience as the driver of design
decisions. We treat urban spaces not simply as conduits of movement,
canvases for best practices or organizers of private investment, but as the
primary experience of the city, the reason people want to be there. Urban
design must be more than just sidewalks and facades—it is what enables
cities to become more human and the entirety of public life to take place.
Our team brings deep experience facilitating collaborative engagement with
diverse communities in the urban change and development process. We look
forward to working with the City of Tigard and TCDA to hone the community's
goals for Universal Plaza and to develop an RFP to carry this vision forward.

Davis Square is a thriving place

always reflect the importance
of public life,which inhibits this
place from becoming even more
vibrant.
In 2016,the City of Somerville

three light interventions were
implemented during the summer.

changes impacted the public

The City of Tigard is seeking a consultant to assist in
crafting an RFP for a planned new public space in the
city center. Momentum has been building since the
introduction of the City Center Urban renewal plan
(2006-2017) which intends to catalyze investments in
revitalization of the Downtown, recognize the value of
natural resources as amenities, contribute to a special
sense of place and identity, and make downtown Tigard
a place where people want to be. The City of Tigard is
interested in engaging Gehl to conduct a targeted Public
Space Public Life study that will engage the public in
furthering the vision for the downtown as well as provide
important public life data to benchmark progress
towards downtown revitalization. The insights gained
from this study will be used to generate design and
programming guidelines to inform the RFP for Universal
Plaza.
Study Area: The study area is approximately the urban
renewal area boundaries defined in the City Center
Urban Renewal Plan. The future universal plaza area is
a city-owned lot on SW Burnham, near SW Main.

communities and developers "plan by doing", using
actions that are supported by data, a collective vision
of a vibrant public realm, and a clear strategy to take
successive steps towards improvement.
The Gehl Public Space Public Life Study (PSPL)
The result of more than 40 years of research and
development, Gehl's PSPL is a comprehensive
ethnographic analysis of the relationship between
human activity and the built environment in the public
realm. Working across a block or an entire city, we
use volunteers and digital tools to gather fine-grained,
human-scale data, coupled with a project's public
engagement process. Gehl uses pedestrian count and
stationary activity surveys to understand where and how
