CHALLENGE 20 / Architecture & urban planning

The fifteen-minute city: a neighbourhood-centred urban future

What is this challenge about?

What changes when daily needs are closer to home? Choose an essential service or connecting route and propose a way to improve proximity, considering safe walking, affordability and the needs of different groups.

From observation to a proposal

Start with a real situation in your neighbourhood or daily journey. Describe who experiences the problem, how your proposal would help, and who needs to be involved in making it happen.

01

Understand the need

Where does it happen, and who is affected? Listen to the people involved.

02

Start small and clearly

Outline a small pilot with clear resources, partners and a timeframe.

03

Make the impact measurable

How will you know the experience has improved? Define a measure and a way to gather feedback.
