If you’ve ever vacationed in a city where you are within a 15-minute walk of whatever you may need, then you know how awesome it can feel.
Capitol Hill resident Nat Henry loves his neighborhood. He loves it so much that he decided to develop an interactive website showing everything around him and how long it would take to get there by walking. What he didn’t anticipate happening as the maps came together was how valuable this data would be for city planners as the idea of a “15-minute neighborhood” gains popularity. It’s the idea that you should be within a 15-minute walk for daily services like groceries or health care.
“Seattle is considering in its next comprehensive plan, these neighborhood centers, which will be just small pockets of commercial retail that will then support the surrounding neighborhood so that more people can take walking trips to get to those amenities instead of driving to a different neighborhood,” Henry said.
