[James Mant @Jamesmant]

@antonydenahy 👍
And…
✅ Increases retail spending by up to 40%
✅ Reduces household costs
✅ Reduces pressure on the transport network

[James Mant @Jamesmant]

#20minuteneighbourhoods
are about:
✅ Empowering people
✅ Greater transport choice
✅ Support to local business
✅ Reducing air pollution/congestion

Are not about:
❌ Locking people down
❌ A conspiracy
❌ Taking cars from you
❌ Taking control away
❌ 5G or tracking people.

Ever wondered what a new #20minuteneighbourhood might look like in #Melbourne?

Sneak preview here, showing a typical neighbourhood centre applying the 20-minute neighbourhood #hallmarks.

Well designed neighbourhood centres are critical in creating a #walkablecity.

[James Mant @Jamesmant]

Great to see @c40cities #ReinventingCities back again, was great to be a partner for the last competition and I encourage students to get involved in this global competition to help make #20minuteneighbourhoods and the #15minutecity a reality.

Here's how we can have a wild time in the #20minuteneighbourhood - @may_east @TheScotsman

Should re-wilding be part of 20-minute neighbourhoods?

#Density is not the problem. Let’s again be Inspired by the Australian vernacular. It seems obvious right (but it’s not) it’s about #design. Attention to detail, quality materials, dense, built to last. #densitydonewell #futurehomes #Ultimo #Pyrmont #Sydney #sustainability

[James Mant @Jamesmant]

Great article @ConversationEDU about to regenerate the missing middle suburbs, with "COVID-driven restructuring" and "more self-sufficient #20minuteneighbourhoods."

Well done to @CityofMaroondah and @Swinburne with the greening the greyfields project.
