Question 8 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following is the best example of five-minute planning with regard to urban design?

Answer
A
designing intersections on city streets with five-minute traffic light intervals
B
planning housing communities that are within a five-minute walk of important destinations
C
designing a strip mall that is more than five minutes away from other destinations
D
planning freeways to create offramps that are more than five minutes away from destinations

Explanation

Five-minute planning in urban design means arranging neighborhoods so that people can reach everyday destinations within about a five-minute walk. This supports convenient, walkable communities. Therefore, planning housing communities within a five-minute walk of important destinations is the best example; traffic-light intervals and placing destinations farther away do not fit the idea.
