The 15-Minute City: A Solution to Saving Our Time and Our Planet
This book tells the story of an idea that has travelled around the world: the 15-minute city. It presents the vision of a polycentric city where everything needed in daily life, from work and shopping to healthcare, education, culture and leisure, can be reached within a short walk or bike ride. A city built around proximity gives people back their time, strengthens social ties and reduces its carbon footprint.
Carlos Moreno traces the origins of the concept, the thinking that shaped it and the ways cities across the globe are bringing it to life. Beyond urban planning, the book is an invitation to rethink how we live, how we use our time and how we can build cities that are more human, more inclusive and more sustainable.
With a foreword by Jan Gehl and an afterword by Martha Thorne, the book is published by Wiley, one of the world’s leading publishers in education and research, founded in 1807.
The book is available in bookshops and online, from Wiley or Amazon :
