15-minute city
The 15-minute city is a residential urban concept popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris[1]. In a 15-minute city, all city residents are able to meet most of their needs within a short walk or bicycle ride from their homes.[2][3][4][5] It has been described as a "return to a local way of life."[6]. The 15 Minute city concept is based on previous work by American planner Clarence Perry – the 1900’s – the “neighborhood unit”. A later, but perhaps a more well-known advocate was Jane Jacobs and her landmark book – The Death and Life of Great American Cities. A more recent advocate[7] is the french-colombian scientist Carlos Moreno. The COVID-19 pandemic crises has accelerated the desire for functional and human scale cities, towns and neighborhoods. This concept was adopted in May 2020 by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group[8] in response to the climate crisis and the urban effects of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
The 15-minute city[9] [10] [11] [12] is a is a proposal for developing a polycentric city, where density is made pleasant, where proximity is vibrant and where social intensity is real. It’s a city where inhabitants can meet their needs from 6 social functions categories: living, working, supplying, caring, learning and enjoying. It envisions that people meet a high quality societal life in a 15-minutes ride or walk. It is guided by three major ideas: Chronourbanism, intends to give a new rhythm to the city by considering times into urban planning (1), Chronotopia, aims to give various functions to a place depending on temporality (2) and Topophilia (3), literally «the love of place », is about enhancing the attachment of people to their neighborhood.
15-minute cities are built from a series of 15-minute neighborhoods, also known as complete communities or walkable neighborhoods.[13]
