The La Repubblica article discusses Carlos Moreno’s innovative “15-minute city” concept, which has been embraced by Paris under Mayor Anne Hidalgo. This urban model emphasizes proximity, reducing long commutes, and creating multi-use, happy neighborhoods where essential services are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The transformation includes greening urban spaces, modernizing commercial areas, and increasing social housing to combat gentrification and promote sustainability, as demonstrated in preparations for the upcoming Olympics.
