How walkable is your city? Online tool shows how major centres measure up
Briefly

In their research, Bruno et al. developed an innovative online platform to analyze urban landscapes against the 15-minute city concept, revealing significant accessibility challenges.
The study highlighted that cities where residents lack access to essential services within 15 minutes tend to exhibit greater inequality, indicating a socio-economic divide in urban planning.
Their findings underline the importance of rethinking how essential amenities are distributed in urban environments, as relocating services can enhance overall accessibility for all residents.
By employing a new algorithm, the researchers provided insights into how existing urban infrastructures can be redesigned to support the 15-minute city model.
