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.

This is hilarious. It essentially says that fifteen minute cities aren't feasible in North America because the cities weren't built with fifteen minute cities in mind.

Contradiction: Copenhagen, notably walkable and bikeable city, was razed in the first half of the 20th century for parking and roads to make it more like an american city of today. They rebuilt before being the active transport friendly city that is now is.
