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 an architect's nightmare
Care to elaborate with some details.
I love the idea of this like this, but also know barriers need to be identified before realistic action can take place.
How so? I don't see anything here that's particularly challenging to design around, no plants incorporated directly into buildings for instance.
The greenhouses full of trees on the roofs, for starters.
Ah I didn't catch that the first time around. Yeah that's a bad idea. Most of the other stuff seems like it should be fine though
