INCLUSION, EQUITY and ACCESSIBILITY

 ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL 

Ownership is out of reach for most, rent is staggeringly high and the point of entry for commercial space prevents many mom and pops shops from opening in the urban core.

So how does Charlotte or Baton Rouge, let alone Paris or New York, plan for affordability, accessibility and equity – especially when many have been hit hard or crushed by pandemic economics?

Professor/urbanist/writer Richard Florida addressed many of these issues in his 2017 book, The New Urban Crisis: How Our Cities Are Increasing Inequality, Deepening Segregation, and Failing the Middle Class-and What We Can Do About It.
