What is a 20 Minute Neighborhood
• "Imagine being able to do all of the necessary and enjoyable things that make life great within 20 minutes of your home. The magic of cities is that they have the potential to provide most things people need for inspired living—open spaces (planned and natural), grocery stores, workplaces, libraries, events, public and private schools—within a concentrated area. Less time spent in transit means more time for family and friends, leisure activities and other meaningful experiences.”
Principles of Place, 2006
• Where a majority of residents can walk, bicycle, or take transit to meet basic needs.
