CarlosMoreno_2020T-_15_分钟城市_-
For too long, those of us who live in cities big and small have accepted the unacceptable . 长久以来,无论是生活在 大城市还是小城市里的我们—— 都已经接受了无法接受的现状。
We accept that in cities our sense of time is warped , because we have to waste so much of it just adapting to the absurd organization and long distances of most of today's cities. 我们接受了这样的事实: 在城市中,我们的时间观念退化了, 因为我们不得不浪费大量时间来 适应今天大多数城市极不合理的结构规划 和不同地点之间遥远的距离。

Why is it we who have to adapt and to degrade our potential quality of life? 我们为什么不得不适应这些不便, 并降低自己的潜在生活质量？
Why is it not the city that responds to our needs? 为什么不让城市 反过来满足我们的需要？
Why have we left cities to develop on the wrong path for so long? 为什么我们让城市 沿着错误的道路发展了这么久？
I would like to offer a concept of cities that goes in the opposite direction to modern urbanism , an attempt at converging life into a human-sized space rather than fracturing it into inhuman bigness and then forcing us to adapt. 在此,我要提出一个 与现代大都市的发展方向相反的新的城市概念, 即尝试把生活融合进 一个以人为本的空间内, 而不是将其分散在该空间之外, 并强迫我们去适应。

I call it "the 15-minute city." 我称之为“15 分钟城市”。
And in a nutshell , the idea is that cities should be designed or redesigned so that within the distance of a 15-minute walk or bike ride, people should be able to live 简而言之, 城市应该被设计或重新设计, 在步行或骑车 15 分钟的距离内, 人们就能够充分体验到
the essence of what constitutes the urban experience: to access work, housing, food, health, education, culture and leisure . 城市特有的便利—— 外出工作、 回家, 获取食物、 文化

The first city to adopt the 15-minute city idea is Paris, 第一个采用 “15 分钟城市”概念的城市 就是法国的
France. 巴黎。
Mayor Anne Hidalgo has suggested a big bang of proximity, which includes, for instance, a massive decentralization , developing new services for each of the districts -- 市长安妮·伊达尔戈（Anne Hidalgo） 提出了“邻近大爆炸”的建议, 包括,例如 为每个区域开发新的服务,

That's actually a golden rule of the 15-minute city: every square meter that’s already built should be used for different things. 这就是“15 分钟城市”的黄金法则—— 每一寸建成的土地都应当
The 15-minute city is an attempt to reconcile the city with the humans that live in it. “15 分钟城市”就是让城市 和城市中的居民 和谐共处的一种尝试。

It's funny if you think of it: the way many modern cities are designed is often determined by the imperative to save time, and yet so much time is lost to commuting , sitting in traffic jams, driving to a mall, in a bubble of illusory acceleration . 仔细想想, 这是个很有意思的现象: 现代城市的设计 常常是为了节省时间, 然而我们都身处 一个虚幻的加速泡沫中, 反而把大量时间浪费在通勤、 交通拥堵 和驾车购物的途中。
The 15-minute city idea answers the question of saving time by turning it on its head, by suggesting a different pace of life. “15 分钟城市”这一概念 颠覆了传统的生活节奏, 为如何节省时间的问题 提出了自己的答案——
A 15-minute pace. “15 分钟节奏”。
