The 20-minute concept has gained attention internationally and has been developed in cities such as Melbourne, Portland and Paris. The concept looks at having all your basic needs – health and social care, shops, work hubs, places to socialise – met within a 20-minute walk, wheel or cycle from where you live.
The Scottish Government’s 2020-21 Programme for Government announced the ambition of 20- minute neighbourhoods and the concept has gained significant traction since the COVID-19 pandemic with people staying closer to home to access support and services.
The Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland is holding four events, each with a panel of speakers and breakout rooms.
