The 15-Minute City: Rethinking Urban Proximity

This two-hour webinar delves into the innovative concept of the 15-Minute City, a progressive urban planning model designed to enhance daily life by bringing essential services and amenities—such as work, education, healthcare, retail, and recreation—within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home. As cities grapple with urban risks, housing shortages, and increasing social isolation, this human-scaled, place-based framework offers a compelling response to many urban concerns. The course includes an overview of enabling policy mechanisms, spatial planning techniques, and multidisciplinary design strategies that support proximity-based living. Real-world case studies will illustrate both the opportunities and challenges of applying this model in diverse urban settings.
