The 15‐Minute City:The Proximity Revolution
The emergence of the 15‐minute city concept is closely linked to the climate crisis, particularly after the COP21 (United Nations Climate Change Conference) held in Paris in December 2015. By encouraging active travel such as walking and cycling, the 15‐minute city reduces dependence on the individual car, which is a source of pollution and a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The happy polycentric proximity represented by the 15‐minute city is, therefore, a real paradigm shift in the way we develop, and live, in our cities. The popularity of the 15‐minute city is also due to its adaptability and scalability. It can be applied at different scales, from dense neighborhoods to less populated areas, depending on local circumstances. Topophilia plays a crucial role in building the 15‐minute city by generating interconnections of mutual support and solidarity.
