As recently as a two decades ago, more people lived in the countryside than in urban areas. But that has since changed. Around 56% of the global population are now at home in cities, and the number continues to rise. According to the United Nations, two thirds of the roughly 10 billion people that will inhabit planet Earth by the year 2050 will live in built-up areas.
This consistent city spread has revealed serious cracks in their planning, shedding light on issues such as social injustice and exclusion, inadequate public transportation networks and smog-related health issues. One idea that has be

More ant hills. People living all shoved in together.
“How do they work?”
They don’t, except for those that control them. For the dictators, it will work very well. Very well, indeed.
“As recently as a two decades ago, more people lived in the countryside than in urban areas.”
hmm, seems maybe related to the mass migrations of people tptb have forced upon citizens of some countries?
Yeah. They’re basically the way cities used to be built. Little pods of commercial and residential. The classic town square model, or the inside out version. Most of Tucson is the inside out version, commercial streets every mile, residential in the middle. Way better than the suburban sprawl with one way in and no stores for 2 or 3 miles.
Let’s start with Martha’s Vineyard.
Most people doubt we’ll be flying soon, but I want one.
And then all the liberals will have fits because all their sustainable living having single parent feral children moving in with us will have failed.
Forced bussing failed and high density living with public transportation will fail.
Just quit inviting illiterates into our country.
Go back to a manufacturing economy.

Lahaina is a good example......
The big difference is that we’ll to TOLD if and when we can leave, which transforms a 15 minute city into a high-end concentration camp.
15 minutes into living in one you want to leave, but can’t.
We have had 15 minute cities before and they were called coal towns or company towns! The company sold the inhabitants everything and there was zero competition. The company owned it and you rented it. The company controlled the wages too along with travel. And if you got married well Skippy the town boss got first crack at it if he wanted to! https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/minewars-coalcamps/
The part of town I live in now is like that. Square mile sections with businesses mostly near the major intersections. Everything we need is nearby.
“Paris also wants to repurpose half of its 140,000 car parking spaces, turning them into green areas, playgrounds, neighborhood meetups or bike parking spots.”
BS. Soon as they get possession those parking lots would be repurposed into businesses.
Repurpose the parking lots into migrant camps.
At first read, the concept seems quite human centered; however when coupled with WEF philosophy of population control, war on fossil fuels, manufactured famine,
and total elimination of private property and transportation, it reminds me of an ability to create a barrio system, or a ghetto.
Additional information is contained in the original news source at DW.com, which I believe to hail from Germany, which is the home of the WEF/ Schwaub movement.
We already have a '15 minute city' in the USA; it's called the boroughs of New York City - how's that working out ?
New York City and London City, UK are experimenting with increased transport fees in both cities in order to cut down on private transportation traffic.
Ah, the World Enslavement Fascistocracy. 15-minute ghettos are an old favorite of Blowfeld’s family. Want to know all about 15-minute ghettos? Just open a history book and look under “Warsaw Ghetto”. You will find all you need to know. There is an old saying, nothing new under the sun.
I used to live in a 5 minute city. We just called it a small town.
