But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didnt need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea--its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute citys ideals--with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas--and disincentivizes long commuteswhich approaches to building affordable housing are actually effectivehow neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policieswhether its possible to convince car-owning city dwellers to replace their vehicles with other forms of transport.This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods--and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
