He's not getting why the 15-minute city/town/village is what we need to live and work in: It puts an end to those absurdly long commutes and have everything you need daily close to you: schools, work, living and shopping all within a short distance is how we lived before we surrendered our cities and landscapes to the car. You can still road freely into the wider country your holidays and weekends, but then you'd just rent a car or take public transport.
- rowanajmarshall 5y agoThis is pretty much how I live in London, and it's great! * Several small shops and small-ish supermarkets in a 5 min walk, with bigger ones maybe 15 mins walk away * Doctors, dentists, even a hospital within 10 mins walk * Ditto for co-working spaces * Gyms, swimming pool, coffee shops, even some theatres and a cinema within 5 mins walk too
