| dc.description.abstract | Urban areas are responsible for more than 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. As the global urban population increases, future growth will happen primarily in urban peripheries. This raises the question if proximity-based approaches such as the 15-minute city (FMC) can be applied for the sustainable transformation of urban peripheries. Therefore, this study comparing the long-term strategic vision of Melbourne, Portland and Vancouver investigates if these visions address strategies for transformatinng of urban peripheries and if those strategies align with the FMC concept. The study reveals, that the visions, although relying on important points of the FMC, deviate from the original concept regarding the allocation of workspaces: While the urban function of working isn't necessarily a part of complete or 20-minute neighbourhoods, it is one of the essential functions named in the original FMC concept. This is due to challenges which occur when applying proximity-based approaches such as the FMC to urban peripheries which cannot provide the building and population density needed in order to make the provision most daily essentials viable inside a 15-minute walking distance. This poses a dilemma as promoting walking as the main mode of transit is of utter importance for the FMC concept.
