15-minute cities cut the commute time – but do the 15-minute cities cut the commute time – but do they help social equality? 🌆 A recent study by researchers at the @utcbro suggests that they don’t. ✋ For a proactive approach, Oana Luca and Emanuel Răuță examined a neighbourhood in the city of Ploiești, Romania, to see how a 15-minute city functions in practice. The conclusion? 🧐 Equity must be part of the conversation from the start. Learn more about the 15-minute city concept and the issues behind it on the “news” section of our website #euconexus #europeanuniversities #smucsweeklybite #sustainability #15minutecity
