Sweden’s ‘Street Moves’ Transforms Streets From Parking Spaces Into Meeting Places

An innovative project in Sweden enables residents to travel no more than a minute to access everything from outdoor gyms, urban gardens to playgrounds and social hubs. The idea is inspired by the 15-minute city urban planning concept in which everything you need can be reached within 15 minutes. The ‘Street Moves’ initiative, developed by Sweden’s national center for architecture and design, aims to be implemented nationwide in the next decade, so that every street in Sweden is healthy, sustainable and vibrant by 2030.
