THE 15-MINUTE CITY

OLD-FASHIONED COMPACT, CONVENIENT, MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FOR A MODERN, POST PANDEMIC, WALKABLE WORLD

“This is in the tradition of Jane Jacobs,” Moreno said of the legendary urban activist-author who published The Death and Life of Great American Cities in 1961.

“She developed this idea for livable cities -- very vibrant, with green public space, social uses, different activities.

The internet, technology and economic system is very, very different then her times, but this is still relevant today.”

Moreno said people are living in hard times of a pandemic, job loss, income disparity, long commutes and other pressures.

He said making cities more livable is the medicine for urban ills.
