The 15-minute city

A presentation by Cindy McLaughlin, Envelope's CEO, and Eldad Gothelf, Director of Zoning Services. During the presentation, both are elaborating on the 15-minute city concept, which is an opportunity to build a better urban future. 

The idea of the 15-minute city is that every resident of the city would be within the reach of a 15-minute walk or bike ride to almost anything they need to thrive. They can walk to school, they can walk to parks, they can walk to parks and essential services. Like a village within a city, something like a neighbourhood. 

Cindy stated that vertical farms can be used to grow food locally near consumers. 

They're elaborating more on vertical farming within the concept at 28:55 in the video below.
