Shrinking Urban Spaces: The One-Minute City

The video explores the future of urban spaces, focusing on the transformation of streets into community-friendly areas. It introduces the 15-minute city model, which aims to reduce emissions and improve livability by ensuring daily needs are within a short walk or bike ride.
