Named Tornagrain, it is a new town, but built in a traditional Scottish style. 15 minute city ideas are incorporated in the design with community, sustainability and spaces for people being key.

What are 15 Minute Cities?

15 minute cities! This is a red hot topic and is a MUST for any urban unit at Level 3, GCSE, National 4/5, Higher Geography, A Level and beyond. Resources are sparse on this extremely topical subject - so this bundle is a must! It includes a 12 page PDF file full of colourful information and engaging activities including making your own 15 minute city neighourhood, being a protestor and putting together a front page spread on the issues. Oxford and Paris are used as case studies but there are many opportunities to look into local examples. The PDF also includes access to a free Sway which guides students through the issues with pointers to relevant information and film clips. Relevant vocational links are also highlighted to help with positive destinations. Scan the QR code to find out more or click on this link. 15 Minute Cities
