In the interview titled “A cidade é para as pessoas” published by VEJA, Carlos Moreno discusses the origins and implementation of the 15-minute city concept. He emphasizes the need for cities to prioritize people over cars, advocating for decentralized urban planning where essential services are accessible within a short distance. Moreno highlights successful applications of this model in cities like Paris, where measures such as pedestrianizing streets near schools and creating more green spaces have reduced commute times and improved quality of life. He also addresses challenges like urban verticalization and the importance of creating local workspaces to promote equity and sustainability.
