Abstract
In response to the covid-19 pandemic and climate change concerns, the 15-minute city (FMC) concept has gained traction as an urban planning approach. However, there is a growing concern regarding potential inequity in access to public green spaces caused by the implementation of the FMC concept, driven by limitations in travel time and modes of transport. This study investigates to which extent the introduction of the 10-minute city concept in the city of Utrecht causes inequity in public green spaces. This is supported by sub-questions looking at both the inequity in the amount and type of public green spaces and the difference between the different modes of transport. The municipality of Utrecht is chosen as a case study since it aims to introduce a variant of the FMC, the 10-minute city, by 2040. A Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis is performed on the municipality, using open-source data, considering the current distribution of public green spaces and overlaying buffers of 10 minutes by walking or cycling. The findings reveal that currently, inequity in both access to the amount of as well as the different types of public green spaces is evident. The analysis is restricted by the inability to perform a part of the analysis due to the size of the dataset. Further research needs to be performed on which causations relate to the inequity of public green spaces.
