C. The 15-minute city – new forms of mobility to increase urban accessibility and quality of life
The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life. 15-minute city has retained international interests and in this session the key is to develop deeper knowledge about the concept through international and Swedish examples. This session will share knowledge and insights on a 15-minute city concept and address potential/challenges in increasing accessibility and quality of life in cities. Challenges for implementation as well as inclusion of users will be highlighted in the presentations.
