About ROST Architects:

In addition to practicing architecture, principal and founder of ROST Architects, Mitchell Rocheleau AIA, searches the world to learn more about the buildings and cities humans have created, from the modern era to prehistory.

Through writing, expert interviews, and video documentation, we hope to make our journey available and accessible. Our mission is to understand the environments humans have created throughout history, learn from the successes and failures, and contribute to designing a better future.

In the 1960s, Copenhagen began prioritizing cars — but a bold shift toward people-first design changed everything. This video explores how the city transformed its streets into walkable, bike-friendly spaces, revitalized public life, and became a global model for sustainable urban living.

Learn how fewer cars led to a stronger economy, better health, and vibrant public spaces.
