Our primary goal is to achieve a sustainable, equitable, and healthy 15-minute City by proposing a Smart and Sustainable Work Culture (SSWC). We will devise and evaluate strategies to 1) reduce car dependency by hybridising work styles, sharing office spaces near housing and schools, arranging demand-response shuttles and promoting active transportation modes, and 2) reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by controlling the hybrid work schedule, shuttle routing, and shared building energy.
We will first identify possible design strategies (e.g., hybrid-work schedule, shared-office distribution, shuttle routes, etc.) that could create SSWC through literature review and interviews. Using such design strategies, we will develop SSWC at target cities, such as Athens and Glyfada in Greece, Haßfurt in Germany, and Sejong in Korea. Then, we will simulate the proposed SSWCs focusing on car dependency and energy consumption. The effectiveness of the design strategies will be evaluated using the simulation results, sensitivity analysis, and stakeholder surveys. All results will be disseminated in multiple channels.
The proposed and evaluated SSWCs are expected to reduce car dependency and energy consumption, which in turn will contribute to creating a sustainable, equitable and healthy 15-minute City.
