t’s ten a.m. and as I pack my daughters into their stroller, I’m thinking about where it’ll be most sunny when we leave the house. At this time of day, the sun is probably hitting the domes of the City Hall, but not yet covering the large public square in Plaza de María Pita. It the town of A Coruña, in the north-western region of Galicia in Spain, I’m living the ‘15-minute city’ dream. In a one-kilometre radius of most spots in the 38-square-kilometre city, we have our pick of public parks, plazas and waterfronts. We have large grocery store chains and local momand-pop for fresh produce, for fresh meat and for freshly baked bread. We have clinics, pharmacies, schools, cultural centres, shops, restaurants, and bars, plenty of bars. For now, we work from home.
