Imagine having everything you need—hospitals, stores, parks—just a few steps from home. This is the idea behind the 15-minute city. Here, people can get all the services they need within 15 minutes from home. This social model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris to Moscow. It could make people healthier and build stronger relationships with neighbors.
Carlos Moreno is a strong supporter of the 15-minute city. He was encouraged by the need to fight against climate (气候) change. In a 15-minute city, car travel is not the best choice. People should build more foot roads and bike roads. Walking or biking across the city is of great use in cutting down CO2 emissions (排放).
Anne Hidalgo plans to develop 15-minute communities throughout France. That means the number of parking space will be reduced to 60000 by 2024 and more bike roads will be created on every street of the city.
This type of design does more than good to the planet. Joe Zehnder is the planner of the city Moscow. He is developing”15-minute neighborhoods”. Having stores close to homes makes people able to eat healthier food and live a better life, “ Zehnder says.
Syra Madad is also a key person behind the 15-minute-city plan. He wants to make these places inclusive (包容的). As a neighborhood becomes more convenient, housing costs may increase. Madad suggests trying creating more kinds of houses, so that people of different groups can have a chance to live there.

C. By increasing the housing costs. D. By creating more kinds of houses.
24. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage
A. B. C. D.
25. What is the best title for this passage
A. The Opinions of the 15-minute City B. The Reason Why People Like the 15-minute City
C. The Time of Building a 15-minute City D. The Way People Build the 15-minute City
