#20minuteneighbourhoods
are about:
✅ Empowering people
✅ Greater transport choice
✅ Support to local business
✅ Reducing air pollution/congestion
Are not about:
❌ Locking people down
❌ A conspiracy
❌ Taking cars from you
❌ Taking control away
❌ 5G or tracking people.
Ever wondered what a new #20minuteneighbourhood might look like in #Melbourne?
Sneak preview here, showing a typical neighbourhood centre applying the 20-minute neighbourhood #hallmarks.
Well designed neighbourhood centres are critical in creating a #walkablecity.
Great to see @c40cities #ReinventingCities back again, was great to be a partner for the last competition and I encourage students to get involved in this global competition to help make #20minuteneighbourhoods and the #15minutecity a reality.

Here's how we can have a wild time in the #20minuteneighbourhood - @may_east @TheScotsman
Should re-wilding be part of 20-minute neighbourhoods?

#Density is not the problem. Let’s again be Inspired by the Australian vernacular. It seems obvious right (but it’s not) it’s about #design. Attention to detail, quality materials, dense, built to last. #densitydonewell #futurehomes #Ultimo #Pyrmont #Sydney #sustainability – at Sydney, New South Wales
Great article @ConversationEDU about to regenerate the missing middle suburbs, with "COVID-driven restructuring" and "more self-sufficient #20minuteneighbourhoods."
Well done to @CityofMaroondah and @Swinburne with the greening the greyfields project.

The @DELWP_Vic #futurehomes program is bringing competition winning #densitydonewell to the suburbs of #Melbourne.
We’re improving design while the city grows in the right places to support a city of #20minuteneighbourhoods.

Love this @ArupGroup @LEGO_Group #melbournedesignweek @NGVMelbourne event. My kids are loving imagining a future green city.
“When I started first talking about the #20minuteneighbourhood, people were going ‘What are you talking about? This is crazy stuff’, but now everyone talks about it.” Richard Wynne, Minister for Planning. amp.theage.com.au/national/v… @DELWP_Vic
