Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Background
3. The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Emergence of the 15-Minute City and Related Models
4. The Theoretical, Practical, and Technological Origins and Underpinnings of the 15-Minute City Model
- Minimize the consumption of non-renewable and slowly renewable ones;
- Generate less waste by means of reuse and recycling;
- Lower air and water pollution;
- Enhance the quality of life by affording greater accessibility to services and facilities within a short distance; and
- Enhance the application of the 5Rs (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle).
5. The ’15-Minute City’ within the Narrative of Future Smart and Inclusive Cities
6. Unpacking the 15-Minute City within the Global South
