There is a new and unique opportunity for cities, it is called “15 minutes city“. A model that gives access to the most important services within 15 minutes on foot or by bicycle. A proposal that matches the taste of the citizen. At first sight a utopian scenario, but in the end it is the concept of the city that everyone would like. Residents can perform six essential activities in 15 minutes feet or in Bicycles from your home. An effective method to reduce car dependency and improve people’s quality of life.
Everything as far as the key functions of life are concerned, the person will be able to do it in a short journey and in a very short time. So you will have made a simpler life from durability, less pollution and less traffic. In short, it is about redesigning the city in a way that promotes sustainable mobility and ensures a more pleasant life in general.
The new concept of ’15 minutes city’ is based on the fact that the city must adapt to people and not the other way around. There is also the matter of energy transition to sources carbon-free and renewable energy sources. All accompanied by an urban policy based on the radical transformation of the human lifestyle.
Paris has already adopted a similar model with Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Living and working in the same neighborhood with minimum reduction of times of shift and increased quality of life. Then there is the Portland Plan, a project that aims to: support of the young providing affordable housing. The basic concepts are sustainability and the fight against climate change. Melbourne is also trying to transform its model into a new and sustainable model.
The new model of the “15 minutes city” seems to be the best response to the need for proximity to services desired by 95% of Italian citizens. Their wishes relate to improvements in public transport, the construction of multimodal interchanges and the construction of new cycle paths. A perfect solution to theenvironmental impact without pressing on the citizen’s wallet.
