Urban accessibility planning: comparing 3 cases studies through the 15-minute city approach
The issue of improving accessibility to urban services continues to receive greater attention in the scientific and political debate to realize livable urban spaces and streets that can be travelled on foot and by bicycle with the aim of encouraging active mobility and increasing built environment quality. The transition path that is being carried out today is to aim for a model of the city accessible in 15 minutes, proving to be one of the most discussed topics in urban planning, both in practice and in the academic world. The 15-Minute City approach is based on concepts of equity and proximity that aim to reach all essential services within one's neighborhood for any user, reducing social inequalities. In turn, the idea may be utopian, but how feasible given that some cities have already been planned to meet this requirement. This new way of thinking about the city leads to rethinking the space-time organization of mobility networks and the distribution of daily activities based on urban asset. The scientific and political debate in recent years has questioned the desire to investigate, on the one hand, which urban characteristics it is necessary to intervene in and, on the other one, to analyze and measure which cities meet the ±15-Minute City requirements in terms of accessibility urban. The city of X minute cities questions, first, the territorial distribution of essential services and its relative mixed land use, which has always been a planning problem and remains unresolved in most cities, affecting people's well-being. Secondly, the improvement of sustainable mobility networks and accessibility in relation to the built environment and its open spaces. At the same time, it must be recognized that cities start from different levels in terms of propensity and susceptibility to transformation both in terms of sustainable mobility and the distribution model of neighbourhood services. In that direction, this work is oriented to compare the areas accessible in 15 minutes of cities characterized by different ...
