The one-minute city is an experimental urban model that is currently being tested in Stockholm. Based on the idea of the 15-minute city, the concept reimagines urban space at a hyper-local level and involves the citizen in their environment.
Just as we were getting used to the concept of the 15-minute city, now Swedes are experimenting with the one-minute city. Unlike the 15-minute city, the idea here is not to meet all the needs of a community within a one-minute radius.
Rather, it is to give the inhabitants of a neighbourhood, or even a street, the choice of how to use the urban space.
