It is a vision of a sustainable, resident-friendly environment that focuses on locality and community.

• Living in community: The 15-minute city concept promotes building strong neighborhood and local communities.
• Reducing car traffic: The availability of all needs in close proximity reduces the need to use cars, improving air quality and reducing congestion.
• Saving time: Thanks to the proximity of services and workplaces, residents save valuable time that they can devote to personal development and relationships with loved ones.
• Children's safety: A short and safe route to school for children, on foot or by bicycle, is one of the priorities of the concept.
• Sustainable development: The 15-minute city is an environmentally friendly city with plenty of greenery, bicycle paths and efficient public transport.
• Attractive districts: Local restaurants, clubs, gyms, parks and libraries create a rich cultural and recreational offer in every district.
• Adapting to climate change: The concept takes into account the challenges of climate change, promoting solutions such as parks that provide shade during heat waves and environmentally friendly public transport.

Carlos Moreno, a world-renowned urban planner and professor, takes us through the history of cities, showing how they have evolved over the centuries. He analyzes the impact of industrialization, modernism and the obsession with cars on their current shape. He shows how we can reverse the negative effects of these changes and create more people-friendly cities. His vision is based on the idea that the city should serve the residents, not the other way around.

The book "15-Minute City" is not only a theoretical treatise, but also a practical example of the implementation of this concept around the world. Moreno takes us on a journey through Paris, Milan, Portland, Cleveland, Buenos Aires, Susy, Melbourne and Pusan, presenting inspiring solutions and strategies.
