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 miss my time in college largely because it was the only time where my home, work, school, friends' homes, bars, restaurants, doctor, grocery store, basically almost everything I needed to go to was within a 15 minute walking range. Like that'll probably never happen again in my life. Everything's laid out so poorly in comparison.

      You know I feel the same way, but never conceptualized it in those terms. Perfectly explains why I miss it as well. Felt like your whole world was there, and as a result the whole world was "right." What a shame we've fucked it up so poorly.
