Youth and Logistics Integration in the 15-Minute City

Planning and designing cities that work for everyone.

INCLUCity+ is a Driving Urban Transitions project rethinking how cities function day-to-day. It explores how we can create neighbourhoods where young people can move safely and independently, while ensuring goods and services flow efficiently.

The popular idea of the 15-minute city promises everything within easy reach — but what about deliveries, services, and the real needs of children and teenagers? INCLUCity+ tackles this challenge head-on.

Cities are changing fast. But without careful planning, conflicts will arise between different communities - and particularly different road users. For example, as cities become more walking and cycling friendly, space for both heavy and light freight is squeezed.

Across four national cases, INCLUCity+ brings together diverse stakeholder groups to support the development of 15 minute cities (15mC) that equitably integrate the diverse needs of logistics operations and children/teenagers, while addressing socio-spatial inequalities.

By reimagining how public space and transport modes are shared and utilized, INCLUCity+ seeks to reconcile the demands of urban mobility, logistics, and dynamic public life, fostering safer, more just, and sustainable urban environments that enhance quality of life and operational efficiency. .

What we’re doing

We’re working directly with cities, communities, and industry to:

  • Understand real everyday mobility needs

  • Test solutions in real neighbourhoods

  • Co-create ideas with citizens — including young people

  • Develop practical tools for policymakers

This work is taking place in four European cities:

  • Lyon (France)

  • Bærum (Norway)

  • Arnhem (Netherlands)

  • Bristol (United Kingdom)
