MARLENE

MARLENE investigates X-minute City (XmC) concepts and explores their practical applicability in small and medium-sized towns. Adopting a co-creation approach across selected cases in the Czech Republic, Estonia and Sweden while focusing on older adults, MARLENE contributes to advancing the state of the art on inclusive and sustainable approaches in proximity-oriented and age-friendly planning. The goal of the project is to deepen the knowledge of everyday mobility and accessibility strategies. As outputs, the project will co-develop possible future accessibility and proximity scenarios, including conceptual and practical challenges and possible solutions, as well as an “Inclusive XmC” toolkit containing planning recommendations for inclusive XmC developments.
