A new and innovative approach to urban issues and building sustainable cities.
In The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno provides an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations such as schools, stores, and offices should be only a short walk or bike ride away from home.
This book relates the narrative of an ideology that spread from city to city, revealing a new way of looking at life that answers many of today’s most difficult concerns. Hundreds of mayors throughout the world have already adopted the concept as a means to aid with pandemic recovery, and it is gaining traction. You’ll learn why and how more cities are planning to make cars less necessary for today’s city dwellers. You will also find:
Strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit inhabitants and save them valuable time.
Techniques for changing the habits of automobile-dependent city residents and maximizing the social benefits of living in a human-centered city.
Scientifically created, research-backed solutions to long-standing urban difficulties and concerns.
Moreno, who is deeply committed to science, progress, and creativity, provides an essential and timely resource in The 15-Minute City, which will be invaluable to anyone interested in modern and innovative approaches to the consistently challenging urban issues that have plagued policymakers and city residents since the invention of the automobile.
