A short leisurely walk with access to urban conveniences, this city concept thrives in Edades West, giving you a strong sense of local connection
For a hot minute, the concept of the 15-minute city was a topic talked about extensively on X (formerly Twitter). The notion isn’t new but with a demand for urban conveniences, it has become palatable for city dwellers.
The concept revolves around designing metropolitan areas so that all essential services and amenities, such as work, shopping, education, and healthcare, are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from residents’ homes. Scientist and business professor Carlos Moreno’s 2016 model became a topic of interest, its revival reimagines a Paris with less reliance on vehicles, reduced pollution, a bakery in every corner, and fostering connections. Cities like Melbourne, Ottawa, Barcelona, and Shanghai have embraced Moreno’s concept, integrating it into urban planning to create more connected and sustainable communities.
In Makati, this concept is alive in Edades West in Rockwell Center, where anything you need is at your doorstep, making it an ideal place for individuals seeking sustainable, hassle-free living. The property features spacious units with Low-E windows, premium amenities, and a prime location near curated shopping and dining options.
