Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred discussions on reimagining cities based on principles of public health and reducing spatially expressed inequalities. In this context, the concept of the 15-minute city has emerged as a priority for municipal authorities in the case of Chile. However, the implementation of this model faces challenges, including the dominant presence of the market in the production and capitalisation of urban life in Chilean cities. © 2025 Liverpool University Press.
