Figure 7.

The present figure depicts the 15-min city, the brain child of Carlos Moreno, where work, school, entertainment, and other activities are reachable within a 15-min walk of the home.^257,258 The 15-min city involves the creation of a city of villages and a return to more traditional city design. The 15-min city will encourage more physical activity through more active transport, and is likely to reduce urban inequalities and health inequities.²⁵⁹ Critically, it will also reduce the need for long distance travel and thereby reduce CO₂ emissions, and air pollution and noise levels (for review see ref.¹⁵) Translation of French words: apprendre = to learn; travailler = to work; partager et réemployer = to share and reuse; s’approvisionner = to supply oneself; s’aérer = to get some fresh air; se cultiver, s’engager = to subdue, to be committed; se soigner = to nurse oneself; circuler = to be on the move; se dépenser = to wear oneself out; bien manger = to eat well; chez moi = at home.
