前纽约市长比尔·德布拉西奥指出，随着墨尔本人口预计到2050年增长至900万，这座城市需要确立清晰的身份认同和独特定位[1]。他将在即将召开的墨尔本大会上，与城市规划专家卡洛斯·莫雷诺深入探讨城市的未来发展方向[1]。这场会议预定于10月19日至21日在联邦广场举行，涉及创新、教育、城市规划、健康、体育和艺术等多个领域的议题[1]。
德布拉西奥认为，人工智能将是城市面临的最具挑战性和普遍的问题[1]。莫雷诺则提出了"15分钟城市"的核心理念——生活所需的一切应该在家15分钟的步行或公共交通范围内[1]。维多利亚州已采纳相关概念，实施了"20分钟社区"的规划策略[1]。
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has urged Melbourne to establish a clear identity and unique positioning as the city's population is projected to reach nine million by 2050.[1] De Blasio will participate in discussions at the Melbourne Summit alongside urban planning expert Carlos Moreno, with sessions focusing on innovation, education, urban planning, health, sport, and the arts.[1] The conference will take place from October 19 to 21 at Federation Square's The Edge venue.[1]
De Blasio has identified artificial intelligence as the most challenging and pervasive issue facing cities in the coming years.[1] Moreno, known for developing the "15-minute city" concept, advocates that residents should have access to all necessities within a 15-minute walk or public transport journey from their homes.[1] Victoria State has already adopted a "20-minute communities" planning strategy aligned with similar principles.[1]
