Moving the 15-minute city beyond the urban core: The role of accessibility and public transport in the Netherlands

Advances in geospatial approaches to transport networks and sustainable mobility

“…Lastly, the focus of the research in this collection tends to be on relatively short-distance travel in urban areas (11 out of 14 studies), overlooking studies on rural areas (Poorthuis and Zook, 2023) as well as regional or long-distance travel (Heinen and Mattioli, 2019). The focus on short-distance travel in urban areas is not surprising, since there are many drivers that make it easier for researchers to focus on transport/mobility that happens within city regions.…”

Assessing the Benefits of Climate-Sensitive Design with Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation in Urban Regeneration: A Case Study in Cheltenham, UK

“…However, there are only a few studies that have examined the potential contributions of urban regeneration initiatives to climate change adaptation [14], particularly those that are based on future climate change scenario forecasts and the benefits of NBS for improving thermal comfort. Moreover, given that many European cities are focusing on reducing automobile dependency as well as decreasing parking spaces to accommodate their car-free or "15-min city" policies [31,32], it is crucial to understand the benefits of regenerating these car parks through the application of NBS. In order to fill this knowledge gap, our study examined a specific case study in which we evaluated the advantages of two regeneration scenarios for an existing car park in Cheltenham.…”
