Shrink the City

Natalie Whittle explores the concept of the 15-minute city, examining its potential to transform urban living by reducing commute times, promoting walkability, and fostering more sustainable neighborhoods. Through careful research and global examples from cities like Paris, Melbourne, and Charlotte, she considers the benefits and challenges of this approach, including its impact on housing, affordability, and social equity. This insightful book invites readers to rethink how we plan and experience our cities, aiming to make urban environments safer, more sustainable, and more inclusive.
