15-Minute Cities

A 15-Minute City is an urban planning concept where neighborhoods are designed so that residents can access most of their daily needs—such as work, school, grocery stores, parks, healthcare, and leisure—within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home. This approach aims to reduce reliance on cars, cut pollution, and promote a healthier, more accessible, and sustainable community. By creating compact, mixed-use neighborhoods, 15-Minute Cities foster convenience, social connection, and environmental benefits, making urban living more efficient and enjoyable for residents.
