description The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted numerous structural deficiencies in modern cities, including unequal access to essential services and insufficient infrastructure for local communities. In response to these challenges, the "15-minute city", which enables all daily needs to be met within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, has become a crucial focus in urban planning research. This study examines the concept's growing popularity and scientific significance, utilizing data from the Scopus database containing the term 15-minute city. The findings reveal a marked increase in academic interest after 2020, likely linked to the challenges posed by the pandemic. The research includes an analysis of publications across various scientific fields, such as social sciences, technical disciplines, and environmental sciences. It reflects the concept's application in cities where the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the adoption of more sustainable urban models. The results indicate that the 15-minute city has become a central topic in urban planning discussions. Its interdisciplinary nature integrates social, economic, and environmental dimensions, representing a significant step toward creating resilient and accessible urban environments.
