Since the passing of the historic Paris Agreement in 2015, governments are pledging their commitment to net zero carbon emissions. Major cities around the world are also exploring innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint. From green energy to sustainable farming and tourism, several cities are embracing a new urban planning concept – the 15-minute city. The idea is that everything we need – workplaces, shops, parks, schools – should be within a 15-minute walk or cycle. Spearheading this concept is the French capital of Paris. Its mayor Anne Hidalgo has championed it since early 2020, and has embedded it into a broader plan to promote active mobility at the expense of cars. Many cities have touted it as a climate solution and have achieved considerable success; cities including Houston, Milan, Brussels, Valencia, Chengdu and Melbourne, as well as Paris where it is best known. 00:15 What is the 15-Minute City concept? 03:38 Redesigning Paris to combat global warming 08:42 Roads converted in Bristol in community spaces 11:33 Encouraging drivers to give up their cars 16:31 Singapore's urban design to reduce travel times 20:54 New solutions for a post-pandemic society More from CNA Correspondent: ================= About CNA Correspondent: Highlights of news stories and features by CNA's network of Correspondents based in major cities across the region. ================= #CNAInsider #CNACorrespondent #Paris #City #UrbanPlanning For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER Follow CNA INSIDER on: Instagram: Facebook: Website:
