A vision for Living Well in the South: Alveo’s latest portfolio in Laguna, Batangas, Cavite
The 15-minute city concept, while not an entirely novel idea, has gained significant traction in recent years. Offering a progressive yet practical approach, essential amenities and services are within a safe and easy 15-minute walk, bike ride or commute to ensure convenience, accessibility, and sustainability in daily urban living.
Beyond its apparent benefits, this urban planning design, more importantly, brings back the focus on people by enhancing the livability of cities and neighborhoods. It reclaims urban spaces for people, and creates vibrant, walkable neighborhoods that encourage healthy lifestyles, support local economies, foster strong community ties, and reduce the environmental impact of commuting. It’s an approach meant to be adapted in any locale, encouraging the creation of new urban centers outside main cities to decentralize growth, reduce congestion, and distribute opportunities equitably.
At the same time, it also helps reclaim time that could have been lost to travel and traffic—time that could offer more opportunities for personal growth, social interaction, and a healthier work-life balance, ultimately contributing to a more fulfilling and holistic lifestyle.
