Have You Heard Of A 10 Minute Town?
The idea follows the concept that your city or town would have everything you need within a 10-minute walk, cycle, or bus ride from your home.
It's an idea being proposed by Southern Regional Assembly and it's already been rolled out in places like Barcelona and Melbourne and can be adapted for Waterford and other Irish cities and towns.
The concept also ties in nicely with European Mobility Week which takes place from September 16th to 22nd.
European Mobility Week promotes sustainable ways to move about in our daily lives, be it by bike, bus or foot. This week is the perfect opportunity to test out new forms of clean mobility, take stock of current transport challenges, and progress towards more sustainable mobility.
Find out more on southernassembly.ie or check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
We'll be posting more about the concept and how to make Waterford a more sustainable and livable city on WLR's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram over the coming weeks.
