The article highlights the central role of proximity in creating more dignified, inclusive and sustainable cities, drawing on Carlos Moreno’s intervention at Hay Festival Querétaro 2026. It contrasts the social, health and environmental costs of long commutes and urban sprawl with a proximity-based model that brings housing, work, commerce, healthcare, education and leisure closer to everyday life. The article also points to Paris and the 15-minute city as an example of how public spaces, schools and streets can be transformed to improve quality of life while responding to ecological, economic and social challenges.
