📣 We are excited to share that the paper: “A universal framework for inclusive 15-minute cities” by our Sony CSL (Rome) researchers Matteo Bruno, Hygor Piaget Melo, Bruno Campanelli, led by Vittorio Loreto has been recently published on #NatureCities, one of the most prestigious and respected platforms in the scientific community, and gained the new cover of this month! 🎉 Also, The Guardian (https://lnkd.in/es-EgR5D) wrote about our research, which proposes that urban areas can operate more efficiently, fairly, and sustainably when vital everyday services and essential amenities are accessible within a 15-minute distance of walking or biking. The study analyses a vast number of cities worldwide and finds that, within the framework of the 15-minute city, the accessibility to services by citizens is highly heterogeneous within and across cities, meaning that urban areas present a high level of inequalities given mainly by the poor or difficult accessibility to services by citizens. 🚶🏼♂️ 📌 Have a look at the paper here: https://lnkd.in/dyCr434J Congratulations, team!!! 💥 Sony Europe #Research #Technology

Have you ever participated in an international Potluck with 19 different country recipes represented? 😮🗺 For Sony Global Diversity Month, our EUDC team, in Oslo, arranged an original Potluck where members were invited to contribute a dish that reflects their cultural heritage or a cherished family recipe. This event provided a great chance to explore new cuisines, share personal stories, and build connections with colleagues through a shared appreciation of delicious food and cultural traditions. 🧆 Moreover, to honour their traditions, they celebrated their diverse backgrounds and cultural heritage through fashion! They were encouraged to come to work dressed in outfits that represented their cultural identities, wearing them with pride and sharing the traditional stories behind their attire. 🥻 Each month at the Oslo office, a cultural event is celebrated and on that day, the Indian festival of Onam was celebrated with the creation of a beautiful floral carpet on the ground, an activity known as Pookkalam. 🏵 Well done team, and thanks for sharing your uniqueness and traditions in the office!
