The idea behind the concept is to build cities in such a way that most daily necessities and services are located within a 15-minute walk or bike ride.

The 15-minute city also offers a mobility concept: fewer cars and more space for cyclists and pedestrians, safe paths for children, people with disabilities or the elderly and places for social interaction.
