In its broadest sense, hospitality means creating space for others to feel comfortable and be themselves. Providing excellent hospitality is therefore an interesting and far-reaching topic, that can be examined from several different angles as we are discovering in this edition of the Together magazine. Looking firstly through the lens of design and architecture, we caught up with Ola Gustafsson, director and architect at Gehl - an urban planning and research consultancy that focuses on creating human-centered designs and public spaces that are beneficial for everyone, from car drivers to pedestrians.

Our feature about The Tokyo Toilet Project further discusses the need for cities and public facilities to transform, to ensure they are not only more inviting but also meet the demands of contemporary living.

Hospitality is of course also one of the most important components in the hotel industry.
