In the pursuit of a concept for a better quality of life there has been much talk in recent years of the '15 minute city', an urban planning model where everything a resident needs in their daily life can be accessed within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, designing local areas to have everything civilians need within this distance.

While the concept has, inexplicably, become a target for conspiracy theorists, the Nordhavn district of Copenhagen appears to be leading the way forward. Meet the five-minute city and its happy residents.

Have a great day.
