Discussion on "15-Minute City" from the Perspective of Neighborhood Effect and Urban Facilities

Abstract

Due to the rapid development of the city, a series of problems such as con-gestion, inequality, and low efficiency have emerged in the city. Therefore, the urban planners have proposed a new urban planning plan of "15-minute urban life circle", hoping to solve some urgent problems existing in the city. In order to analyze the impact of the 15-minute urban life circle on the city, this paper analyzes the planning from the perspective of the neighborhood effect. The study found that the 15-minute urban life circle solved the prob-lem of long commuting times in employment and gave residents better con-venience in daily consumption. However, there are still some problems in the initial stage of such planning, such as social isolation, uneven distribu-tion of resources, and neglect of the elderly. In order to further improve these problems, this paper proposes the direction of public space sharing, improving infrastructure, and paying attention to special groups.
