Description
In The 15-Minute City, Natalie Whittle invites readers on an insightful exploration of urban development, presenting a transformative vision for our metropolitan landscapes. Whittle adeptly argues for the necessity of creating cities where all essential services—work, education, leisure, and healthcare—are just a quarter-hour away on foot or by bike. This innovative concept not only addresses the pressing issues of climate change and urban sprawl but also enhances community well-being and social connectivity.
The Story
Through a blend of personal anecdotes, comprehensive research, and global case studies, Whittle paints a compelling picture of how cities can evolve to meet the needs of modern life. She examines various successful implementations of the 15-minute model across the globe, showcasing how thoughtful planning can foster sustainability and inclusivity in urban environments.

- Engaging Narrative: Whittle's writing is accessible and thought-provoking, making complex urban planning principles relatable.

- Practical Insights: Readers gain actionable insights into how they can advocate for better urban policies in their own communities.
Perfect For
This book is ideal for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of city living. The 15-Minute City is a must-read for those who enjoyed Whittle's previous works, where she similarly delves into the intersection of society and urban landscapes.
