alt Hacker NewsI’d argue that any sufficiently dense city is naturally a 15 minute city, and tens of millions of people (including myself) live in them. For example: in New York, Tokyo, London etc. one can feasibly access all the amenities they need within a “15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride”.
The key thing is that these cities developed this way organically. There is nothing stopping me leaving my 15 minute radius if I want to, and I regularly do.
The suburbs aren't in most major cities. The idea of being stuck in that small area is nightmare fuel... Like Melbourne, Victoria telling that residents could not travel more than a few KM/miles away four years ago.
