Coolville

Welcome to Coolville, where my urbanism worlds live under one roof. This channel brings together everything I’ve been doing for years: The Life-Sized City documentary series, citizen-led change, stories from places rebuilding themselves in real time, and the human-scale ideas I’ve spent a career fighting for. You’ll find full Life-Sized City episodes here, plus new films, field reports, urbanism experiments, design insights, and whatever else I drag home from the global streets. I’m Mikael Colville-Andersen, Danish urban designer, author and impatient idealist who has worked in more than 100 cities worldwide. I’ve built bike infrastructure, argued with traffic engineers, co-created community projects in war zones, and documented how ordinary people reshape their cities when institutions fall asleep at the wheel. Coolville is the ongoing story of that work—life-sized cities, powered by citizens, no filters. Official site: https://colville-andersen.com Insta: @colvilleandersen
