Since 2013, Isobenefit Urbanism was proposed as a city model
“in which each dweller can do her/his usual main daily activities by walking or at maximum biking” “to reach places of work, shops, amenities (recreational, medical, cultural. . .), and centralities from our habitations” (2013)
“The time to reach the ordinary daily points (work, buying food, recreational time, education, a green area […]) should not be higher than a reasonable time (T*) which is around 30 minutes walking/10-15 minutes biking” (2014-15) or "15 min walking (namely within around 1 km)" (2018)
It is called a "one-mile green city", or "Isobenefit Urbanism". The term "isobenefit" is a portmanteau word from "iso" meaning equal, and "benefit" referring to the beneficial walkable proximity to amenities, services, workplaces, centralities and green space.
This urban model is recently receiving a growing attention.
Isobenefit Lines Rewrite Rules for Understanding City Life.
A new way of mapping cities according to the benefit they give residents has the potential to change the way planners think about city design.
Today, Luca D’Acci at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland suggests an interesting new way...

Il movimento globale delle città da 15 minuti.
"Il professore [...] Luca D'Acci [...] aveva lanciato il progetto di una città differente nel 2013 chiamata "isobenefit urbanism" [...] dietro il quale c'era però la stessa intuizione [...]. Quando lo presentò ad un convegno gli diedero scherzosamente del comunista. Allora certe idee per trasformare i centri urbani, la cui struttura veniva giudicata inevitabile, venivano accolte con scetticismo."

Bartlett Planning team help planners discover best locations for future urban growth.
The software is based on the Isobenefit Urbanism model of D’Acci, an optimization-based model creating morphological scenarios where all new dwellings have a location that achieves sustainable and desirable attributes of cities – including and beyond the idea of 15-minutes city.

Isobenefit Urbanism: The Key to Future Cities.
The current paradigm of cities has emerged along the reign of modernity. As efficient as it may be, it does not align with the vision of sustainability and resilience, and that is how Isobenefit Urbanism comes into play. This session will expand on Isobenefit Urbanism as a groundbreaking urban planning concept centered around the principle of ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities across various areas within a city.

Cycling, conspiracies and connectivity: the global push for 15-minute cities.
A 15-minute city isn’t new. [...] In 2013 Luca D’Acci from the Polytechnic University of Turin introduced his concept of Isobenefit Urbanism. It would take another decade before people really started taking notice.
“I chose a terrible name and I chose terrible language because it was too technical and too mathematical,” he said from his home just outside Oxford University in England [...]
It comes down to 10 main basic principles, with hyper-connected walking trails as well as sky trains and subways to keep the land free, constant proportions between green land and built areas, limitless growth by linking new walkable units, and a clear algorithm that allows planners to foster intentional development.
