THE 15-MINUTE CITY A Solution to Saving Our Time and Our Planet

Audiobook lovers, beware! If the proponents of the 15-Minute City succeed, you'll have less time to listen on your daily commute. As narrator Andrew Joseph Perez reminds us throughout this audiobook, the failure to integrate work, markets, and recreation into urban neighborhoods has lengthened commutes. At the same time, the proliferation of the automobile has transformed walkable cities, such as Istanbul and Paris, into gridlocked municipalities. Perez delivers a friendly, informative narration of this urban social analysis and paints a clearheaded, sobering vision of the future if no action is taken. At the same time, city planners must ensure that the benefits of the 15-Minute City--proximity of services, quality of life, renewable energy, and clean air--are shared equally among all urban dwellers.
