Abstract
- The spatial arrangement of the popular '15-minute city' struggles for definitional clarity, threatening effective application of the theory in practice. We conduct a comparative study of Shanghai, Melbourne, and Portland – pioneering cities in planning 15/20-minute neighbourhoods, by reviewing related planning documents and mapping the morphologies of walkable urban areas in these cities. Our findings highlight the capacity of planners to be constructive theorists of 15-minute cities. We suggest that the term "X-minute city" is more appropriate as an overall label, and that the crucial role of main streets in fostering walkability and urbanity could distinguish the X-minute city from similar theories.
