Overview
{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Professional dialogues about urbanism are held back by toxic jargon. Still, Carlos Moreno\u2019s framing of the \u201c15-Minute City\u201d has delivered a publicly accessible concept that has gained global traction in recent years. Cities worldwide have begun devising strategies with the framework in mind. Urban design plays a crucial role in moving this idea from concept to reality, with significant implications for climate action and equitable development. Designing more compact cities can cut our carbon emissions by an estimated 25 percent. This session will feature real-world applied settings for the 15-Minute City with lessons learned for other jurisdictions seeking to mobilize action for more sustainable urbanism."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"This session is for design professionals as well as civic leaders who are looking to improve their communities."]]]]}
