The 15-Minute City

Urban planners are promoting a new concept: the 15-minute city. The idea is simple: every citizen should be able to reach all essential services—work, groceries, health, and leisure—within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their home. This model aims to reduce dependence on cars, which are the main source of pollution and stress in modern metropolitan areas.

The concept was developed by Carlos Moreno, a professor at the Sorbonne. It gained momentum during the pandemic, when lockdowns forced people to stay in their neighborhoods. Cities like Paris and Barcelona are already implementing these changes by widening sidewalks and creating more green zones. However, critics argue that this could lead to gentrification, making certain areas too expensive for low-income families.

Furthermore, the success of the 15-minute city depends on high-quality digital infrastructure. If people can work from home or nearby co-working spaces, they won't need to travel long distances. Despite the challenges, it is hoped that this urban shift will create healthier, more connected communities where the quality of life is prioritized over speed.
