Join District 11 Alder Bill Tishler and other community members for a discussion of Shrink the City: The 15-Minute Urban Experiment and the Cities of the Future by Natalie Whittle.

At just 158 pages and written in a clear, engaging style, Shrink the City explores the growing global movement to reimagine cities so that essential services are within a short walk or bike ride. Whittle highlights how the 15-minute city model is being adopted around the world and what it means for building more inclusive, sustainable, and livable communities. Copies may be available at the Sequoya Ask Here desk, on a first-come first-serve basis.
