The pressing challenges of climate change and urbanization advocate for adopting transformative approaches, such as the 15-minute city framework. This framework is a visionary urban planning model designed to create compact, self-sufficient neighbourhoods where residents can access essential services, such as work, education, health care, and leisure, within a short walk or bike ride. By reducing reliance on automobiles, this model not only promotes healthier lifestyles but also fosters equitable economic activity and mitigates environmental harm.
