First things first, just what is the 15-minute city? Well, it involves creating cities whereby all of the daily necessities and services are within — you guessed it — a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The idea behind it is that this will create more environmentally sustainable cities by eliminating dependency on the car and that it will result in more equitable access to community services.
In increasingly dense cities like Toronto, which have been characterized by a move away from the car in recent years — something reflected in everything from thein new residential buildings and widespread transit expansion, to a notable increase in bike lanes — a 15-minute city sounds like a sensible idea to many.
As Blonder highlights, many of Toronto’s most desirable neighbourhoods already fit into the 15-minute city concept. Take Yorkville or St. Lawrence Market, for example. While 15-minute neighbourhoods had already been staples in Canadian cities for decades, the urban planning concept of 15-minute cities was first officially recognized by Parisian urbanist and university professor Carlos Moreno in 2016.
