In the book The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, urban humanist and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno offers a fascinating and insightful discussion on the revolutionary idea that everyday destinations such as schools, shops, and offices should be only a short walk or bike ride from home. The book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of life that addresses many of the most complex challenges of our time.
