15-Minute City

The 15-Minute City is an urban planning concept where all essential services and amenities—like work, shopping, healthcare, and leisure—are accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from where people live. This design promotes convenience, reduces reliance on cars, supports local economies, and enhances community interaction. By prioritizing mixed-use neighborhoods and efficient public transport, cities aim to create sustainable and livable environments, leading to improved quality of life, reduced traffic congestion, and lower carbon emissions. The goal is to foster vibrant, connected communities where residents can thrive without extensive travel.
