Carlos Moreno discussed the increased relevance of proximity in a recent interview with Magazine CFDT, emphasizing the concept of the 15-minute city. This model allows urban residents to access essential services – work, healthcare, education, and leisure – within 15 minutes on foot or by bike. He explained how this vision addresses the economic, ecological, and social challenges of our time, fostering vibrant and inclusive cities. In the wake of the health crisis, Moreno highlighted how this approach has underscored the importance of local access, reinforcing the desire to live differently in both urban and rural environments.
