The 15 Minute City has become a hot topic - gaining traction in corners of the internet not typically involved in the dialogue around city planning and urban living.

With forward-thinking conversations threatened to be overtaken by conspiracy theories, we wanted to share an episode we recorded with London-based research lead Camilla Siggaard Andersen in 2022 on the topic of 15 Minute Cities. Specifically looking at the research she conducted, and the challenges she discovered are facing cities in Ireland and elsewhere as they grapple with climate change, urban sprawl and wellbeing.

In this episode you'll hear from:

Pat Farrell, CEO, Irish Institutional PropertyBrian Moran, Senior Managing Director, HinesNiamh Moore Cherry, Associate Professor, School of Geography, University College Dublin; andAli Grehan, former City of Dublin Architect

As Hassell’s ​“Close to Home” report shows, 15-minute cities provide opportunities for more convenient living, more equitable communities and more sustainable development. What's not to like?
