2011 has brought many exiting experiences for all of us at Gehl’s, and we would like to share some of them with you as our friend and partner.

We have continued our collaboration with the Energy Foundation designing sustainable cities, thriving neighborhoods and non motorized mobility networks for major Chinese cities. We have conducted Public Space Public Life surveys in such exiting and different cities as Istanbul in collaboration with Embarq and in Adelaide for the City of Adelaide. We continue to focus on delivering great streets and public spaces for all and have been engaged as urban design leads in both Market street, San Francisco and in Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. We have challenged ourselves in capacity building initiatives in new cultures such as India, Brazil and Colombia in partnership with ITDP from N.Y. and have engaged ourselves in designing new urban settlements in both Zambia in collaboration with Arup Zimbabwe and in Australia for Mirvac. We have strengthened our base in Scandinavia through hosting the Nordic City Network secretariat and through working with cities like Linköping and Lund, and through continuing our strong collaboration with Riksbyggen leading to 1^st prize for the Nya Munkebäck development. We have facilitated workshops and professional meetings such as the major international Rivercity workshop in Gothenburgh. And in Norway, we have developed an innovative new way of mental planning for Groruddalen and Breivoll engaged by and in strong collaboration with the City of Oslo.

We have hosted 8 international interns through the year, and have hosted professional individuals and groups for shorter and longer stays as part of our ambition to be an open and urban platform for exchange and innovation and to provide leadership in urban planning.

We are looking forward to continue our collaboration with you in the new year and thank you for a great 2011
