The 15-minute city

Arequipa 2023, Saturday 11 November 2023

Carlos Moreno (Colombia/France) is Associate Lecturer at the University of Paris IAE-Pantheon Sorbonne. There he is the Scientific Director of Enterprise, Territory and Innovation, which involves developing urban planning and mobility solutions for cities. He is the creator of the 15-minute city concept, which consists of a city model that is decentralised, with multiple nodes and a range of services, in which citizens can have their essential needs met within a 15-minute walk. In his new book, La revolución de la proximidad: De la «ciudad mundo» a la «ciudad de los quince minutos», the author sets out the key steps for achieving this new urban model. In conversation with Luis Calatayud.
