Session Description
A panel session examining the 15-minute city, a concept to create cities where people have access to key amenities by travelling no more than 15 minutes on foot or by bike. Originally unveiled in 2016, the concept offers a radical departure to the current direction of modern urbanism, reducing the radius in which amenities and activities are situated and take place, making our cities more local, more accessible, and more liveable. This will be a discussion on its aims to reduce carbon emissions, the possibility of implementing this framework in the UK, and the impact it would have on individuals and economies – dispelling myths around the policy idea.
