Good morning, everyone. Today we're continuing our discussion on urban planning. One key concept is the '15-minute city,' where residents can access most daily necessities within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. Professor Emily Carter, a leading expert, argues that this model reduces car dependency and improves mental health. However, she notes a major challenge: ensuring equitable access for elderly and disabled residents. In her recent study in Melbourne, she found that while most neighborhoods had good access to grocery stores, public parks were often located too far for older adults. Therefore, she suggests prioritizing small, local green spaces over large, centralized ones.
