The Implementation of “15-Minute Neighbourhood” in Anusawari, Bang Khen, Bangkok

Abstract

The resurgence of the 15-minute neighbourhood concept reminds of our living quarters. It reflects our daily activities where commuting seems to be the only option to get anywhere. The concept gives us an idea to rethink how cities are laid out and how the residents move about. This study discusses how a sub-district of Anusawari in Bangkok is laid out and how it implements the 15-minute neighbourhood concept. The distribution of public facilities is the main focus of this study. It has been observed the majority of residents live within walking distance to most of their essential daily needs, although there are still many objectives to be done to make a neighbourhood walkable.
