New study in npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport: Proximity-based cities emit less mobility-driven CO₂

"The 15-minute city model promotes active mobility by ensuring that essential services are reachable within a short walk or bike ride from home" F. Marzolla& al.

Where everyday services are closer, per-capita transport emissions are lower. 🏘️
The relationship is roughly linear and, when services are distributed more evenly, emissions decrease.
Cities are complex, yet the path to sustainability is becoming clearer!

Call for Abstracts – BeSAFE Satellite Workshop @ CCS 2025, Siena

We are pleased to invite submissions of original abstracts to the BeSAFE satellite workshop of CCS2025 @css-conference.bsky.social, taking place in Siena (code-project.it/besafe/). 🧵 1/4

Really great piece with a lot of food for thought about proximity and density, nicely covering and adding to our analysis. Thanks Harry!
