INCLUCity+

The 15-minute City (15mC) promotes walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods that prioritize accessibility, local services, and human-centric urban design to reduce car-dependency and foster more sustainable, inclusive, active and liveable cities. However, much of the research on 15mC overlooks the unique mobility needs of specific user groups, such as children and teenagers, or the vital role that logistics play in maintaining the functionality of these compact, decentralized urban environments. 

Moreover, to reach its full potential, the 15mC concept needs to integrate social interactions beyond services and focus on peri-urban areas with poorer transport connectivity. Therefore, INCLUCity+ addresses these gaps by exploring in urban and urban peripheric areas the intersection of user needs—particularly focusing on children and teens—and logistics in the planning, design and development of 15mC.
