Edward Glaeser’s Triumph of the City shows how cities drive innovation, creativity, and growth. But how can we make them more equitable, livable, and resilient for the future?
🏙️ His upcoming lecture on Cities and Infrastructure at the Universität Bern on December 6th offers a great opportunity to reflect on these questions and explore how his insights align with my vision for expanding 10-Minute Neighborhoods in Switzerland and beyond.
🔑 10-Minute-Nighborhoods (10-Minuten-Nachbarschaften) bring us closer to more livable and sustainable cities. Schools, shops, restaurants, parks, and public transport are within a 10-minute walk—reducing car reliance, encouraging active lifestyles, and strengthening community ties.
🚶♀️ Imagine a city where people spend less time in traffic and more time walking, where housing, mobility, and green spaces are integrated into a vibrant, walkable community. By combining Glaeser’s insights with innovative concepts like 10-Minute Neighborhoods, we can shape the cities of tomorrow.
See you tomorrow in Bern!
