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 don't have municipal income taxes in Toronto

      I see, I see, it would be a small amount nonetheless. Unfortunately the head of our county transportation department is on the record saying it won't go fareless on his watch, although activists have been working toward it.

        It's fareless if you don't pay for it! 🚋 😉
