SUMMARY — The 15-Minute City: Visionary Urbanism or Overreach?

Understanding the 15-Minute City in the Canadian Civic Context

The "15-Minute City" is an urban planning concept that envisions cities designed so residents can access essential services—such as healthcare, education, grocery stores, and public transit—within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. Rooted in the work of urban theorist Carlos Moreno, this model emphasizes compact, mixed-use neighborhoods, reduced car dependency, and sustainable mobility.
