The idea that cities should be designed around 15 minute hubs, where you should be able to walk to everything you need (job, grocery, school, hospital, restaurants, etc) within 15 minutes. From Paris's new plans to Barcelona's superblocks, it looks like cities across Europe at least are beginning to catch on to how appealing this way of living is. Thoughts on how to apply this to cities outside of Europe?
EDIT: The discussion going on here is fantastic and I love you all :heart-sickle:
I live somewhere organized this way, but the paying jobs are still concentrated in a couple neighborhoods. Also only like two of the urban villages have any sense of community. We do have a lot of parks and groceries though, so that's neat.
Yeah I think the jobs thing is the biggest sticking point, but in the age of remote work that problem might be less of a big one. Fostering a sense of community in these 15 minute cities should be a priority, and you'll probably need actual community centers/organizations/mutual aid groups to do it.
