The 15-Minute City in Action: Research, Innovation, and Urban Transformation

Location:Thessaloniki Concert Hall, M2 Building, Room: MuseumTrack:Side Event

This session brings together research projects funded under the European Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership. There will be a chance to explore pathways towards more sustainable, inclusive, and people-centred urban development within the 15-Minute-City framework. The presentations highlighted innovative approaches to urban accessibility, mobility governance, public space transformation, and citizen engagement. Drawing on diverse case studies, interdisciplinary research and strong stakeholder involvement, the projects share insights into how cities can reduce car dependency, improve access to daily services, and strengthen local communities while advancing climate and sustainability goals. The session provides an opportunity to discuss common challenges, potential solutions and policy implications for the future implementation of the 15-Minute City concept.
