The promise and challenges of the 15-minute city

Imagine a neighborhood where residents can access most of their daily needs — such as work, shopping, school, and recreation — with a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The concept may be coming to a city near you. Phillip Rode, Executive Director of LSE Cities, and Phil Ryan, Director of Global Insight at JLL, explore the model's capacity to address urban challenges like congestion and environmental concerns. They discuss the economic, social, and regulatory complexities that cities face in implementing an ideal, walkable city. Highlighting examples from Tokyo to Bogotá, they illustrate how diverse approaches can lead to sustainable, accessible urban spaces. Discover the power of strategic planning and technology in transforming our urban landscapes into vibrant, inclusive environments.
