GA Blog: X-minute cities

March 2025
I’ve recently joined the GA Post-16 and Higher Education Committee and am enjoying get involved under the leadership of Paul Logue. The committee has a SubStack blog that shares useful resources, tips and guidance for post-16 teaching and we’ve decided to run a new series of 3-minute reads to update your subject knowledge. These short blogs will discuss an area that we teach about or explore with our post-16 students and are designed to give you a quick refresh on the concept, process or issue ahead of teaching.

I wrote about X-minute city concept and the blog can be accessed here. I became interested in this concept when working on my resources for teaching about Brent Cross Town- a huge regeneration project that has the 15-minute city concept at its core.
