Leaving home and reaching school, the health centre, the market and work in no time at all. What in some places seems like a utopia is simply an urban planning concept that can transform the way we live: the 15-minute city, an idea conceived by Carlos Moreno (Colombia/France). 2026 is the year that marks three centuries since construction began on the Queretaro aqueduct, the city’s architectural and urban planning icon, and it presents a unique opportunity to view the city with fresh eyes. Queretaro continues to grow and transform; how close or far is it now from becoming a 15-minute city? The renowned urban planner will give a lecture on Queretaro, in which he will discuss the city’s challenges and the opportunities it has to improve the well-being of its citizens.
