The Knowledge Hub is organizing a webinar for city administrations and other interest groups to share results from the 15-minute City projects. The conversation will focus on how to target social groups and spatial contexts that are usually overlooked in accessibility and proximity analyses, and policies. Speakers will explore strategies to support and empower these groups. 

The spotlight will be put on the populations and areas usually excluded in accessibility and proximity analyses. It will be discussed who these individuals are and how evidence-based strategies for their support and empowerment are being developed. 

By highlighting older persons, children, caregivers, small and medium-sized towns, and marginalized areas, the webinar will explore how these individuals are affected by the interplay between their social status and spatial context.
