Abstract / Description of output

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of the N-minute neighbourhood (NMN; usually 15 minutes or 20 minutes) has risen in prominence. This working paper shares some of the insights from a project which the University of Edinburgh ran with the City of Edinburgh Council in 2021, to explore what the NMN concept might mean and how it could be operationalised in Edinburgh to inform ongoing council commitments and forward looking strategies. As the NMN concept was so new at the time, the project was exploratory in nature, consisting of a literature review, GIS analysis and feedback workshops with council practitioners responsible for various council services which could potentially be informed or influenced by the application of the NMN logic.
