The x -Minute Neighborhood: How Is Its Design Different from Other Planning Concepts? A Systematic Review

Different neighborhood planning concepts have evolved over a century, with the x -minute neighborhood being the most recent. Systematic investigations into the differences in their design principles are limited. This study develops an assessment framework with 11 design elements (e.g., size, density) and benchmarks the x -minute neighborhood against 18 other concepts, following a systematic review of 143 articles. The core idea of the x -minute neighborhood can be traced back to Perry's neighborhood unit concept. It shares similar characteristics with new urbanism (e.g., destinations, density) but is distinctive in its emphasis on size. The findings serve as a design repository of different concepts.
