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 know you wrote \s, but:
-
It is more probable that pedestrians jump into a store and buy something which is more tax income for the state.
-
People will walk more and there will be less particles in the air. Less sick days means less expenses for health insurers and more work hours for employers.
-
Property value will increase
Not ideal for middle and lower class... But most of the profits never are!
This before and after photo really shows how we can make cities beautiful. It’s amazing what we could potentially do to give cities a new feel.
I would not be surprised to see that vegetation like this can reduce heart attacks and strokes by 50%, by lowering blood pressure.
Still a main steet on the right side. Basically got rid of a few parking spaces and access to shops resupply.
Getting rid of the on street parking would be a great start and first step, the next is a tram line and dedicated ebus up middle with a cycle lane and ban private cars.
For years I thought Optic2000 was called OpticZooo but then I went inside lol
