Join us next Monday!

The 15-Minute City is reshaping urban life worldwide—adopted in Barcelona, Paris, Singapore, and Bogotá—to foster sustainability, accessibility, and stronger communities. But in the U.S., decades of car-centric planning have fractured Black and brown neighborhoods, prioritizing suburban sprawl over connected, vibrant cities.

Now, as cities rethink urban design, how can we embrace this global movement to build more equitable and livable spaces?

Join us for an insightful discussion with:

🔹 Carlos Moreno – Pioneer of the 15-Minute City, Professor at IAE Paris Sorbonne
🔹 Jim Aloisi – MIT Lecturer & Former MA Secretary of Transportation
🔹Moderated by Christian MilNeil Editor-in-Chief at Streetsblog MASS

📅 March 24, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Let’s reimagine the future of our cities—together
