Young people face spatial, socio-cultural and policy obstacles to moving in the 15-minute City and research tends to focus on them as an isolated group with specific needs. This can obscure some of the more relational aspects of youth mobilities. Rather than viewing youth as an age group, we adopt an intergenerational approach that centres on producing knowledge across generations, including youth using a transgenerational methodology. At the same time, there are groups of urban citizens who are highly marginalised in relation to both accessibility and influence. In reaching such groups, which include young people, we take an intersectional approach, based on the junctures of compound factors such as race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, ethnicity. We ask the following research questions: What are the situated and lived experiences of moving in the 15-minute City across generations and highly marginalised groups?; What insights are revealed through the storying of experiences within communities and cities?; What insights are revealed through the collaborative re-storying of experiences across communities and cities? ; and How can we translate these findings into 15-minute City policy?
We co-produce knowledge alongside community and advocacy groups, which represent people with a learning disability and autism; Roma and traveller people; young people in care and carers; with municipal partners representing youth, older people and families. The project uses innovative mobile and sensory methods to experiment with stories of mobilities. Researching across four cities in Europe: Brighton, Bucharest, Copenhagen and London, we co-produce new understandings of the lived experience of moving in the 15-minute city across generations and highly marginalised communities.
This project aims to create enriched understandings of the 15-minute city that challenge mobility poverty across all ages and backgrounds and translate them into inclusive urban policies.
