Discussion about the path towards 15 minute cities. Post examples and discuss about how to make this a reality!
From Wikipedia: The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.

I feel like nobody thinks about the logistics involved with these things.
Ok, so what’s bothering you about it? Are you gunna elaborate?
Money. Nobody would ever foot the bill for this and even then, it would take a significant amount of overhead to keep it running. Also, you're never going to convince people to use public transportation. That's just a few things. My point is this is represented as a utopia but it could never exist. Not in the nations current state. The ideal is good in practice but it's getting there that's the issue.
It's very possible to convince people to use public transport. Just make sure it's cheaper and easier to use than the car.
