Making your way to and from services such as employment, education and healthcare with relative ease

While the concept of a 15, 20 or whatever minute city is a really nice aspiration, well intentioned and reasonable policy for some places, we believe that prescribing the "minute" target as the goal really doesn’t account for human preferences. It’s too top down, and not resident-led. Instead, we think it’s better to understand how the community views their ability to access essential services – such as employment, education and healthcare – with relative ease.
