Resumo(s)
The concept of the 15-minute city emphasizes the importance of ensuring residents can efficiently access
essential urban amenities within a short distance. This includes healthcare, education, leisure, and other daily
services that significantly enhance quality of life, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and
children. A toolkit has been developed to assess accessibility to urban amenities, particularly within Urban
Living Labs (ULLs), offering a comprehensive framework to analyse how the spatial distribution of services
correlates with human mobility patterns across diverse urban contexts. By integrating open data, census
information, and advanced spatial analysis techniques, this toolkit enables evidence-based urban planning
that supports sustainable mobility and equitable access to services.
Key findings from the toolkit's application reveal that accessibility is deeply influenced by population density
and urban form, with compact urban areas often enjoying greater access due to higher service demand.
However, disparities persist, especially in peri-urban and peripheral areas, where access to essential amenities
is limited. The analysis highlights socio-spatial inequalities, emphasizing the need for targeted urban
interventions to address these gaps and promote the 15-minute city objectives.
The toolkit offers actionable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and practitioners. It supports the
identification of geographic inequalities, helps optimize service locations, and assesses public policy
effectiveness in fostering equitable access. Additionally, it aligns accessibility improvements with
sustainable mobility and urban resilience goals, addressing challenges such as infrastructure investment
priorities and transport network optimization.
As cities embrace the 15-minute city model, future research must go beyond traditional spatial metrics to
include dimensions like affordability, perceived safety, and cultural appropriateness of services. This requires
a shift toward more dynamic and multidimensional accessibility models that account for temporal
fluctuations, social factors, and the psychological perception of access. Leveraging emerging technologies
and massive datasets, such as IoT sensors, mobile devices, and real-time analyses that adapt to changing
urban dynamics, ensuring that accessibility frameworks remain responsive and inclusive as cities evolve to
meet the needs of diverse populations.
