Publisher's Summary

In The 15-Minute City: A Solution to Saving Our Time and Our Planet, Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home.

This book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of looking at living that addresses many of the most intractable challenges of our time. Hundreds of mayors worldwide have already embraced the concept as a way to help recover from the pandemic, and the idea continues to gain speed. You'll learn why more and more cities are planning to make cars far less necessary for contemporary city-dwellers and how they're planning to achieve that goal. You'll also find strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit residents, saving them precious time; techniques to change the habits of automobile-dependent city residents and maximize social benefits of living in a human-centric city; and scientifically developed, research-backed solutions for enduring urban issues.

An essential, timely resource, The 15-Minute City will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in innovative approaches to challenging urban issues that have bedeviled policy makers and city residents since the invention of the car.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
