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:

    We'd have to put a cap on gentrification and turn surplus privately-owned housing in these areas into free or affordable public housing for this concept to work for the entire working class and not just the highly-paid PMC workers.
