Analysis of the concept of a “15-minute city” connected by pedestrian green zones: A theoretical review

This study examines the theoretical foundations, historical development, key structural elements,advantages, and critical aspects of the increasingly prominent 15-minute city concept in contemporaryurbanism. Integrating principles such as proximity, mixed-use development, pedestrian-friendlyenvironments, and green infrastructure, the model assigns a central role to pedestrian green corridors asecological and mobility connectors. The analysis indicates that the integration of walkable greennetworks enhances accessibility in urban public spaces, improves environmental sustainability, andstrengthens social cohesion and public health. However, factors such as equity concerns, gentrificationprocesses, and accessibility challenges faced by vulnerable groups present significant obstacles topractical implementation. The findings emphasize that the effective adoption of the 15-minute city modelrequires a comprehensive, equity-driven, and inclusive planning approach.
