 The fifteen minute city.

Proponents of the fifteen minute city suggest that people could have all the necessary amenities in their neighbourhood within a fifteen minute walking or cycling distance. Each neighbourhood would be like a small village in a big city. Basically it reverses the tendency of the supermalls and encourages neighbourhoods to go back to the days when you could find a pharmacy, schools, cafés, shops, entertainment, sports and cultural facilities all relatively close to your home.

This will build a sense of community but will it work?

Will residential areas benefit while poorer areas lose out because of lack of investment in their neighbourhoods?

Will the economy suffer downtown if people stay at home?

This is the talking point we have on Belino's suggestion for tomorrow.
