Get Started

15-minute cities have been gaining a lot of attention lately, some positive and some negative. Some cities implement the concept considering 10 or 20 minutes distances, but the idea is the same. But what are 15-minute cities really? And how can this human centred approach to urban planning help create more sustainable environments?

This course will help set the record straight and give you the tools to be able to implement the concept in your cities.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

– Understand the benefits and challenges of 15-minute cities

– Determine potential mobility inequalities within cities and recognise its importance in creating a more equal society by using tools from the 15-minute approach.

– Apply the implementation roadmap to create a more human-centred city.

This course is aimed at Transport professionals and transport planners.

Multi-language videos:
To make this course accessible to a greater audience, the videos’ subtitles are available in Croatian, English, French, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, and Turkish.

In addition, the full course content is available in Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Please note that while the learning materials have been translated, the platform features, such as menus and navigation buttons, remain in English.

What Urban Professionals Have to Say

As a USA based learner, it's often difficult to find good resources outside of a university environment to learn what UMC offers. The courses provide a great perspective on the topics and offer links to additional resources within their context. Recommended for anyone looking to gain some knowledge on areas of urban mobility.
