Could Glasgow be a city where we can reach everything
we need within 15 minutes on foot or by bike?
Cities define the lives of all those who call them
home: where they go, how they get there, how they spend their time. But what if
we built our cities differently? What if we travelled differently? What if we
could get a cashback on time and make it our own use it to live in a new way?
In this carefully researched and readily accessible book,
Natalie Whittle interrogates the notion of the 15-minute city: its
pros, its cons and its potential to revolutionise modern living. With global
warming reaching a crisis point and Covid-19 responses bringing a previously
unimaginable decline in commuting, Whittle’s timely book serves as a call to
reflect on the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of our daily travel. Building her study around
consideration of space and time, Whittle traverses both to collect models from
ancient Athens to modern Paris and demonstrate how one idea could change our
daily lives – and the world – for good.
