Building complete, compact and connected urban communities

Schools should be at the heart of communities as they have assets such as halls and fields that can be opened up to the local community.

THE “20-minute neighbourhood” model is a residential urban concept where residents can meet their day-to-day needs within a 20-minute walk, bike or public transport ride within their neighbourhood.

It is linked to the “15-minute city” urban planning model developed by Prof Carlos Moreno and adopted by Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo in her re-election campaign.
