Edmonton city council has approved the district policies and plans to develop 15-minute cities in 14 neighbourhoods.

The first goal of the initiative is to have residents rely on public transit or walking and biking for 50 percent of trips, and to create neighbourhoods where residents can “access their daily needs within a 15-minute walk, roll or transit trip,” according to a report in the Oct. 2 Edmonton city council agenda.
