The 15-Minute City is an urban planning response to the UN SDGs and the Climate Change emergency. It provides a timely framework that combines prox- imity and social fabric to achieve positive change in our urban lifestyle and a new rhythm in our City. This new rhythm centres on increasing multipurpose functions, ease of access, people-orientated design and a sense of place.
