Project Name: Proximities Location: Umm Suqeim 1, Dubai, UAE Function: Community Center Plot: 28,000 Sqm. A 15-minute neighborhood is one where all the necessary amenities of its residents are accessible either by walking, biking or using the public transportation within a radius of 1 km. Proximities does just that. The project enhances an existing neighborhood by providing the missing needs and focusing on walkability. The aim is to connect the Umm Suqeim neighborhood - in Dubai UAE by building in its center a community center that provides all the missing needs of the area. It adds the missing recreational facilities, including sports facilities, retail, art exhibition and a library. Proximity to all amenities within 15 minutes of people's homes is the main aim. This project can be adapted to any site in the world, to make any neighborhood a 15 Minute one. In a quality city, a person should be able to live their entire life without a car, and not feel deprived. – Paul Bedford
