15 Minute Cities

As above. Are they a good idea or another means of control

They exist only in the spin & rhetoric of an intensely managed PR project to take away your private transport & make it appear to be a good idea for you to use public transport instead . . . . Or even your legs.

15 minute cities don't exist now, in the past or in the future. They exist only in the minds of the people who hate us.

take away your private transport

No, they don't do that.

 

[Dork Lard]

No, they don't do that.

No, of course they don't, mostly 'cos they don't yet exist. In your own words please, 15 minute cities are needed because ______________________

What are the positives to being controlled then ?

There’s fierce opposition to them in all areas.

What’s all the positives to be controlled then ?

What do you mean "controlled"?

The surprising stickiness of the “15-minute city”

Prior to the pandemic, few planners would have taken seriously the idea that “home” become the central organizing factor of all urban planning.

And we have the “Pandemic” to thank.

15 minute lockdowns in reality.

Not entirely, but it did push the concept along. You still haven't explained any downsides to it.

Not at all. I answered it and he asked me the same thing again. Childish trolling.
