    Well, the 15min radius should not contain your whole life. And it should be equally easy and accessible to go further (e.g. other parts of town). This should be done by encouraging biking, public transport etc. Even more, they are not fixed perimeters, so there’s a lot of overlap between different peoples “15-min-radii”. Of course it comes down to implementation, but there’s definitively more to gain then to loose.

      Oh sure, and I don’t disagree that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. It’s more that the people who don’t trust governmental bodies to plan such carefully crafted places really do have a point, that theory and practice are entirely different beasts, and being wary or against the idea isn’t just a failure to understand how they’d work or some bonkers conspiracy.

        Yeah I agree that the idea alone does not lead to good results. Im the end, a lot of gated communities kind of are a 15min cities.

        A good government should take this as a guide and not plan everything, but give a framework to encourage projects that work toward connecting people, places and communities.
