Is London A 15-Minute City?

“Urban Future” is all about resilience and sustainability.
We believe creating a 15-minute neighbourhood in which residents can get everything they require within minutes by walking, cycling or on public transport will ultimately improve the quality of life.
Therefore, 15-minute-city concept is the “urban future” trend.
