What are 15-minute Cities?

What are 15-minute Cities?

15-minute cities are urban planning concepts that aim to create communities where all the daily needs of residents can be met within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This concept prioritizes walkability, mixed-use development, public transportation, and accessibility to essential services, with the goal of reducing dependence on cars and promoting sustainable, livable, and vibrant neighborhoods. The idea behind 15-minute cities is to create a more equitable and sustainable urban environment where residents have access to a range of services and amenities close to their homes.

The implementation of 15-minute cities has some potential disadvantages, including:

  1. Implementation challenges: Re-designing and re-planning cities to meet the goals of 15-minute cities can be a complex and challenging process that requires significant political will, a collaboration between different levels of government, and significant investment.
  2. Resistance to change: There may be resistance to change from residents, businesses, and other stakeholders who are used to the existing urban environment and may not see the benefits of 15-minute cities.
  3. Displacement: There is a risk of displacement of low-income residents as areas are re-developed to meet the goals of 15-minute cities.
  4. Funding: Implementing 15-minute cities requires significant investment, which can be difficult to secure in an era of budget constraints and limited public funding.
  5. Limited reach: 15-minute cities may not be feasible in all areas, particularly in suburbs or rural areas that lack the necessary infrastructure and services.
  6. Traffic congestion: In densely populated areas, the increased foot and bicycle traffic may lead to increased congestion and safety concerns.

That took a swift turn for the worst!

Riding high on the success of lockdowns, the World Economic Forum is moving forward with a broad plan to ‘better our lives’ by shutting people down in order to preserve the world.

Of course, there is more to it than that, and as always, they have a narrative that sounds beautiful and is predicated on the premise that they are really the good guys and that we should all simply shut up and be thankful… but you can’t just put lipstick on a pig.

What could possible go wrong with the World Economic Forum’s strategy to make our lives more restricted, reduce the number of possibilities available to us, and enhance their degree of control and surveillance?

Overall, while the 15-minute city concept offers a promising vision for more sustainable and livable cities, its implementation requires careful consideration of the potential challenges and limitations.
