The 15-minute city

The 15-minute city A solution to saving our time & our planet

Carlos Moreno, 1959-

Book - 2024

"In 'The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet', human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home. This book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of looking at living that addresses many of the most intractable challenges of our time. Hundreds of mayors worldwide have already embraced the concept as a way to help recover from the pandemic, and the idea continues to gain speed. You'll learn why more and more cities are planning... to make cars far less necessary for contemporary city-dwellers and how they're planning to achieve that goal." --
