A project that promotes walking or biking 15 minutes to your daily stops such as schools, restaurants, shops, work and more, has just won a major architectural award
The 15-minute city is “a new urban model that promotes a human-centric and environmentally sustainable urban future,” news materials say. “The idea at its core is that cities should be designed – or redesigned – so that residents of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities in all parts of the city are able to access their daily needs within the distance of a 15- minute walk or bike ride.”
Chair of the Jury Martha Schwartz says “I truly respect the power, the breadth, and the scale of the 15-minute city vision. It holds the potential to help 70 percent of the global population who will be living in cities by 2050. It’s an urban- scale idea, but also focuses on the individual's experience of life.”
“It's funny if you think of it: the way many modern cities are designed is often determined by the imperative to save time, and yet so much time is lost to commuting, sitting in traffic jams, driving to a mall, in a bubble of illusory acceleration,” he says. “The close collaboration between Hidalgo and my team of scientists made it possible to transform the city of Paris and to inspire cities worldwide to follow the example. As a result, I was contacted by mayors around the world telling me that they were implementing the 15-minute city in their city.
