econnecting #7: The 30-minutes Territories Explained - an Integrated Regional Approach for Urban-Rural Linkages

In this episode, we’re joined by Catherine Gall, Executive Director of the ETI Research Laboratory (Entrepreneurship, Territory, Innovation) at the Sorbonne, founded by Professors Carlos Moreno, Didier Chabaud, and Florent Pratlong. The ETI Lab is known for challenging traditional urban planning models and exploring innovative approaches to city and regional development. We discuss the concept of 30-minute Territories as an integrated regional development strategy, what it takes to meet the needs of people living outside major urban centers, and how to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world challenges. We also dive into the increasingly debated 15-minute city model—exploring why, despite its popularity, it has sparked controversy and doesn’t resonate with everyone.More infos about Catherine Galls work: https://chaire-eti.org/en/Find out more about econnecting: https://urbact.eu/networks/econnecting#urbanism #mobility #URBACT
