The 20-Minute Neighborhood

A 20-minute neighborhood is a community where residents can access most of their daily needs—such as grocery stores, schools, parks, healthcare, and public transport—within a 20-minute walk or bike ride from home. The idea promotes walkability, reduces dependence on cars, and encourages healthier, more connected living. It aims to create convenient, sustainable neighborhoods where people can easily meet their daily needs, save time, and enjoy a higher quality of life without long commutes or excessive travel.
