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.

Where's the profit in that?!?!

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.
