What If Manila Worked Like a 15-Minute City?

Anchored by Anna Mae Lamentillo, What If Manila Worked Like a 15-Minute City? explores how Manila could become more livable, walkable, and connected if essential services were brought closer to every community. The 15-minute city concept imagines neighborhoods where people can access schools, markets, clinics, parks, workplaces, public transport, and community spaces within a short walk, bike ride, or transit trip from home.

This video looks at how Manila can reduce long commutes, ease traffic congestion, improve access to daily needs, and create safer, more people-centered streets. By rethinking urban planning, mobility, and neighborhood design, a 15-minute Manila could help build a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient city for everyone.
