Hamdan says diversity is important in any 20-minute city or neighbourhood.
A 20-minute city or neighbourhood is not necessarily a new concept as cities were traditionally built to be compact, dense and easily accessible on foot, says Think City Sdn Bhd managing director Hamdan Abdul Majeed.
“Historically, if you look at old cities dating back to Roman times and even Kuala Lumpur during its initial years, everything was organised around that concept that you could live, work, play, shop, study and socialise within the city,” he said.
