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.

My strong belief is this type of transport is what we really need to adopt en masse.
It can carry 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids, has enough boot space to do your shopping, and protects you from the elements (which is the #1 issue with bicycles).
If there was a way these could be mass produced so they are cheap enough for people to justify.. that would be a game changer.
The concept is good. A DIY alternative would be to build a foam+fiberglass shell around an e-trike for most of the same benefits.
