But what does it actually mean?
Living in a “15-minute city” means that everything you need to feel fulfilled is within walking distance. It can change your daily life completely! For example, you will:
have greater freedom to get around on your own and see your friends at the weekend;
see your parents return home earlier from work without wasting time in traffic jams; and
START THE
CLOCK!
We have 15 minutes to go and get dipin frir (bread fritters)
banana pies
and go to school!
2. Promoting soft mobility
Soft mobility is about using active transportation – our legs and feet! – to get around. In other words, it’s about doing sports without even realising it and thus enjoy a healthier life. In a 15-minute city, there are walking and bike paths that enable you to both exercise and have fun!
live in a much nicer neighbourhood. That’s right: with fewer cars on the road, there will be more green spaces for running, cycling and walking!
These are obvious advantages for you, but this smart city concept also allows to improve the city and how we use it every day. The goal is to make city life more pleasant and convenient for everyone!
1. Balancing our lifestyles
As we said above, imagine how much time could be saved every day if you and your parents didn’t need a car or bus to get everywhere. The less time you waste getting around, the more time you save for other useful or fun things.
It also helps you better manage your everyday life. And what’s more, it reduces your stress levels!
