Redistributing urban space - youth and logistics integration in the 15-minute City

Abstract

Urban planning is increasingly shaped by proximity‑-based approaches, emphasizing equitable access to daily services while reducing transport demand. Redesign of space is mostly shaped around the 15-minute-city concept: less infrastructure for traffic and a higher focus on multifunctionality with more space for active mobility and green, leading, amongst others, to car-free neighbourhoods. Eventually this leads to a fundamental change to how we allocate and use public urban space. In this re-destribution exercise, not all stakeholder groups and user needs are involved equally. Two groups that are largely neglected are logistics (operators) that provide goods and services to keep areas running, and the youth that need to be able to move independently in a livable environment.
