This book, Sustainable Urban Evolution, delves into the transformative potential of the 15-minute city concept, an innovative urban planning model crafted to address pressing issues like urban sprawl, environmental sustainability, resilience, and the demand for livable cities. In a world where urban areas are striving to harmonize growth with environmental and social well-being, this book provides timely and strategic insights.Bridging the divide between urban planning theory and practical implementation, Sustainable Urban Evolution equips readers with a deep understanding of how the 15-minute city model can be applied to create dynamic, efficient, and sustainable urban environments. It explores the concept’s origins, key principles such as compactness and multimodality, and highlights its diverse benefits, including enhanced environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic resilience.By showcasing global case studies and real-world examples, the book demonstrates how the 15-minute city model can be tailored to various urban settings. It offers practical strategies and frameworks to guide successful implementation, making it an indispensable resource for urban planners, policymakers, academics, and community leaders dedicated to advancing sustainable urban development.
