The idea aims to allow people to meet their daily needs within a 20 minute walk or cycle from home.
More than 3,500 homes that are being built in the north of Glasgow will become Scotland's first completed 20 minute community
They have already been introduced in cities such as Paris and Melbourne, and the thinking behind them is that they're good for the environment, people's physical and mental health, and affordable living. "The opportunity here now is to do something different and put Scotland on the map in this context, because in other countries it is being applied very specifically in a city".Previously disused pathways have been reopened around the new development, which is close to the city's smart canal
This is due to extensive flood prevention work on Glasgow's smart canal, which was switched on last year during Cop26 and has won international engineering awards, and has also allowed an inner city nature reserve called the Claypits to open. "It's brilliant. We're only a 20 minute walk from Sauchiehall Street here, and we have a seventeen hectare mature reserve in land that was literally forgotten about."
"It's a great thing for North West Glasgow, as it gets these districts back in touch with each other, and it vastly increases active travel."
