Community presentation

This community  showcases the latest research on 15 minute cities and practitioners' experiences in implementing the concept. It is an initiative of the ACUTE (Accessibility and Connectivity for Urban Transformation in Europe) project, whose aim is to create a knowledge hub for exchange in the field of urban accessibility and connectivity. Our purpose is to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge, experience, skills and outcomes. ACUTE addresses the challenges of sustainable urban passenger mobility, freight transport, connectivity and accessibility as an integral and essential part of sustainable urban development. ACUTE aims to create a space for stakeholders to exchange and co-create. The community provides an inclusive environment for urban actors from different backgrounds (researchers, practitioners, public administrators, entrepreneurs, social innovators, etc.) to discuss current issues and priorities and to identify the most pressing urban challenges of today and tomorrow.
