“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.”
You can get healthcare, your own job, your education, and leisure delivered to your door?
Think about going to see a doctor, going to the dentist, going to work, sending kids to school or university, and things like parks, museums, public pools, etc. The 15 minute city says in a perfectly designed city you could reach all of these within 15 minutes by walking, riding a bike, or taking public transit.
In my current city Id need to drive for ~20+ minutes to reach my groceries, and even more to reach any medical services or education facilities. And there is no public transit here. If you dont have a car you are screwed.
@YoFrodo big promises. They’re only making our life a hell through such schemes. They’re literally making us prisoners inside our own houses by delivering everything at our doorstep. Work has become from home (if any), schools from home, shopping through apps (they deliver in 10 minutes). Maybe healthcare would become the same too.
But you are simultaneously saying there is little work except remote work and also that delivery jobs are somehow preventing us from leaving our homes, which are not remote jobs at all.
You asked what the ‘time city’ concept was. You have your answer. You do not seem to understand the goal of it though
Businesses are forcing everyone back into the office. You can count yourself very lucky if you can work remote.
For me, there’s 3 supermarkets within a 15-minute walk, my GP the same, hospital 20 minute walk. So yeah an ambulance would be here in minutes. I don’t feel like a prisoner and I’ve never had stuff delivered. That’s just wasteful and more expensive.
There are apps already that supplies all your shopped articles at your doorstep.

Yeah delivery services are great for the disabled and people isolated by car-centric design.
A 15-minute urban design ethos makes delivery unnecessary for most in favour of the much healthier and more culturally beneficial self reliant errand running. If you don’t spend hours commuting, you can engage in an actual neighbourhood, get to know your suppliers and neighbours, and participate in your locale.
One web search reveals this succinct summary:
“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.”
@YoFrodo what work ?? Would cities have many employment scopes in another five years ??

Make up your mind, bro.
It’s not a “they” in this case, it’s an “us”. You have way more agency, in most cases, than you suggest.
