It is a concept where all citizens are able to meet their needs within 15 minutes of walk or cycling. Technology (e.g. Work for Home) is making people spend more time at home and in the neighbourhood.
This concept is being adopted by cities like Paris, Bogota etc.
It is based on three principles:
- The Rhythm of the city should follow people and not cars.
- Each square metre should serve many different purposes.
- We should be able to live, work and thrive without needing to commute.
This concept may help cities green themselves and people will find it easier to meet people on the street.
This example can be mentioned as an innovative initiative for achieving sustainable development.
