This forward-looking thesis was proposed around 2015 by urban planner Carlos Moreno, professor at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and has been confirmed in various studies (2022, for example, in Geneva)

Published on March 10, 2025 According to the theory of the "quarter-hour city," all essential services should be reachable in less than 15 minutes from our place of residence on foot or by bicycle. - A study conducted in the Geneva metropolitan area in 2022 showed that the area of short distances is already a reality for a majority of the population. - Proximity to facilities appears to be a very strong lever for decarbonizing mobility. Access to everything you need, close to your own home? That is the utopia of the "quarter-hour city," formulated about ten years ago by French-Colombian urban planner Carlos Moreno, professor at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
