About the Project
The Vision
The 15-Minute City (15mC) envisions neighbourhoods where daily needs can be reached within a short walk or bike ride. Achieving this vision requires better tools for evaluating accessibility, environmental impact, economic effects and equity implications.
PERSEUS responds to this challenge by developing rapid and responsive indicators and translating them into an intuitive, web-based decision-support system.
What PERSEUS Delivers
- A framework of rapid 15mC indicators
- An integrated potentiality index at neighbourhood level
- A web-based interactive policy effect navigator (DSS)
- A co-creation-based implementation and participation framework
Why it Matters
Traditional transport modelling is often time-consuming, expensive and difficult to communicate to non-experts. PERSEUS introduces a model-agnostic and responsive approach that allows faster policy prototyping and more inclusive planning processes.
The project supports cities in reducing car dependency, improving accessibility, strengthening local economies and advancing equitable urban mobility transitions.
Impact
- Faster and more efficient urban planning
- Evidence-based mobility transitions
- Reduced car dependency
- Increased accessibility and connectivity
- Equity-sensitive policy evaluation
- Improved environmental and economic outcomes
By combining rapid analytics with participatory processes, PERSEUS contributes to more inclusive, transparent and climate-aligned urban decision-making.
