Designing Better Cities: The 15-Minute Revolution | Jayanna Barratt | TEDxSt Marys College Youth

What if everything you need, work, school, coffee, groceries, was just a short walk or bike ride away? Jayanna explores the concept of the 15-minute city, a bold vision for urban planning that prioritises people over traffic. From reducing emissions and improving health to strengthening communities and local economies, this talk reveals how rethinking city design can transform daily life. It’s not about taking away choices, it’s about creating better ones. With a creative spirit and a passion for family, Jayanna brings to the stage a fresh vision for urban life. Her talk investigates the idea of the “15-minute city”—a place where everything you need, from school to shops to green space, is within a short walk or bike ride. Jayanna explains how this model is already transforming cities like Paris and Melbourne, creating healthier, more connected communities. Her purpose is to inspire a future where cities are built around people—not just cars. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
