Seriously, as if most places in Europe and Asia aren't already 15 minute cities. And the comment section reads like a bunch of people who's favorite snack was lead paint chips.
@@mariomelgarejo1886 Yeah i dont get these paranoid people.... I have 5 schools, 10 big groceries stores, 5 pharmacies, 2 McDonalds, a doctor, a train station, a tram station, a bus station within 15 minutes of walking. To most of these i get faster walking than using a car. Most european cities are like this.
@@igorknezevic4601 yes, but is your travel outside your zone limited? Have you read their regulations? Are you being fined yet for breaking their rules? Are you allowed to own property? You don't understand the plan, and you won't realize it until it's too late.
a lot of European cities are 15 minute cities. you have more freedom there, because you have more options. you can walk to the small supermarket next door, or you can drive to a bigger supermarket futher away. in car centric countries like the US you always have to take the car. I would say that is the dystopian society.
The first suburbs of my city were reached by trams. Are suburbs only bad if reached by car?If you cannot afford a tram ticket, are trams dystopian? The first suburbs from the early 1950s through most the 1980s had lots of families with young children. The kids had friends outside their doors. That's no longer true. Do the suburbs cause people not to form families and have children? Prior to automobiles or even bicycles, cities were full of the old and the young. So were villages,and towns, and farming communities where the households were physically separated by the farms themselves. Density alone doesn't make nor break community.
@@delftfietser What makes American suburbs dystopian to me is that you are forced to do everything by car, because all the amenities are far away and the entire infrastructure is built around the car. Many shops and restaurants cannot even be safely reached on foot or bicycle. Density allone does not make a neighborhood lively. It is about having amenities nearby, and meeting your neighbours in the grocery store. Iit is about having choices in your means of transportation. If you can get to and from your neighborhood only by tram, is just as scary as only being able to reach your neighborhood by car. I actually live in a German suburb. But we have two supermarkets, several medical practices, several other shops, and an old people's home I could go to the shops by car, but they are only a ten minute bikeride away, so why sit passively in a car?. With an office job, I am sitting too much already. The city can be reached by a bus service, by car or by bicycle. My kids can walk to the school that is in the neighborhood. Neighborhoods getting an older population is slso a result of having only one type of houses. If you have not only single family houses, but also senior friendly apartments, or even apartments with nursing support, old people can stay in their familiar neighborhood, but make room for young families to move into their former house. So you can have a 15 minute suburb as well, even at fairly low density. It is very much a question of planning and zoning.
So were lots of cities in the Western world designed before the invention of cars. All beautiful Medieval atmosphere and architecture. No noise and pollution made by those fossil fuel-powered death machines.
@@melvinplant8637 no you are totally wrong. The only people oppose are slaves, they cling to that automobile apron string. Motorists attacked JSOil for using oil based clothing. Motorists from across the country went to someone else's neighbourhood, Oxford, to protest against pedestrians.. whilst walking.🤦♂️
Just watched this. Perhaps because local councils took advantage of lockdown and ignore the needs of the population this backlash will continue. And local govt had better get moving on improving public transport and medical services. They are declining at the fastest rate ever.
That is why they keep raising the pension age, they hope you will croak, before they have to pay you out, also to get rid of the NHS, so everyone has to go private, and pay stupid amounts for treatment..
Check out the Traffic plan of the City of Groningen the Netherlands. Public transport, Emergency services, cyclists and pedestrians can cross the city centre which has been divided into 4 quarters, Cars can go to each quarter, but only by using a ring road. this has been in place for at least 25 years and it works.
Instead of creating the hunger games, hold the rich accountable. "The richest one percent of the world’s population are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution as the 3.1 billion people who made up the poorest half of humanity during a critical 25-year period of unprecedented emissions growth." -Oxfam international report
That's what I don't understand, how are there are not people *confronting* these world leaders trying to do this to us. I'd imagine if this does happen, it rolls out, people will revolt. Mind boggling
Those industries survive because the people buy their products. It is what holds up the economy. If you want change, then change needs to come from everyone. You can’t just scapegoat a small number of people.
The "15-minute city" is literally how all cities were built for the millennia of human civilization that existed before the invention of the car. It is absolutely feasible.
This is completely different. This is textbook socialism. In older times our culture was not global, as it is now. I'm not okay with being under constant government surveillance and control, with limits to my freedoms, and locked within a small area by anyone--that is a prison. I'm not okay with having unelected officials (basically dictatorship) making the rules, where I have no say--and trust me, we won't have any say in anything. I don't want to live under a socialist regime. I have friends and family all over the U.S., and I want to visit them whenever I need to or want to. I was born in a free country, and my ancestors fought for our freedom. This is being forced on us, and everyone had better wake up and educate themselves, before it's too late.
@@melizabethpuckett1082, I WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU, WENT TO ASDA OTHER DAY WENT TO CHECKOUT WHAT DID I SEE, ME, ON A SCREEN, STARING BACK AT MYSELF, WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY SAID ITS TO PREVENT THEFT, SO I SAID SO A THEIF IS GOING TO WALK TO A CHECKOUT IS HE, AND BE SCANNED, BLAH BLA,, THEY DID NOT NOT GIVE A TOSS,.
@@melizabethpuckett1082 You talk a lot about freedom, but there's noting free or liberating about how our cities are currently designed. You're essentially forced to have a car to be able to participate in society in most American cities. If you can't afford a vehicle, or for whatever reason, can't drive, you're out of luck. Take children, for example. Car dependency is the reason a lot of them prefer to sit at home playing video games instead of going out. They can't drive because they're kids, they can't walk places because places are too far to walk, and they often can't bike because it's too dangerous because of cars. They have very little to do outside of hang around home if they don't have someone who can drive them. Where's the freedom in that? I would argue that true freedom would mean having the option to get around with whatever method you want, rather than only having the option that the auto and big oil industries want you to have. Besides, if someone wanted to keep you trapped where you are, it's a lot easier to do in a typical suburb than in a 15-minute city. The typical, car-dependent suburb with a single road in or out can be blocked off with a simple roadblock. No one would be able to drive out, and have fun walking anywhere. That's far easier than, for example, keeping a college student on campus. College campuses are built more like 15-minute cities since most students don't have cars.
@@Klako-ls6yt unfortunately you just aren't getting what's going on. Yes, many things sound good. But you don't see the entire picture of their end goal. If you read their plans, you would see. They want to micro- control everything about our lives. Literally everything. It is socialism. It will become a dictatorship (they have admitted it at the WEF, but most people are too lazy and complicit to read their plans). You will have no ownership rights to anything. You will have few choices in your life. If you don't do as they say, you will lose access to your money. This is the plan, and it's already beginning. They will observe your every move: what you eat, where you go, what you say, who you spend time with. For heaven's sake, have you never seen 1984? Totally prophetic.
But this is exactly what they want it's all part of agenda 2030 it's all part of what the world economic forum wants for us it's all part of you own nothing and be happy.
Thanks for exposing yourself as white supremacist bigot. Btw, here in mostly white Europe 15 minute cities are incredibly common. Absolutely no sign yet of anything that resembles your great reset boogeyman. Not that the word white even means anything here. Unlike Americans, we aren't obsessed with skin colour. Nor are we stupid enough to believe that the word white means anything when there are dozens of different cultures in each country with cultures varying wildly between people who 3 or 4 generations ago were direct family.
But it is a lot of misinformation out there regarding 15-minute cities, and those are of conspiracy nature... literally most cities in Europe are 15 minute cities. I live in such a city, what does it mean to me? I have 7+ grocery stores within a 10 minute radius, 5 bakeries, 5 pharmacies, several taverns/restaurants, 3 parks, 2 outdoor gyms. I can walk & bike safely, so can children, teens, elderly. If I want to I can own and use a car without much traffic (since 30-40% of people don't need them) I don't need the paywall of a car just to get around.... Honestly, the real dystopia is the one the automotive industry has lobbied for during the past 70 years. It's a dystopia where you NEED a car to get around, where you are isolated from everyday services, where you experience food deserts, and you need to pay an automotive paywall just to live everyday life.

It's a dystopia where you NEED a car to get around, where you are isolated from everyone else and everyday services, It has created an urban landscape where you experience food deserts and disconnect while also needing to pay an automotive paywall just to live everyday life. In 15 minute cities cars still exist, it's just that they aren't required to live everyday life.
I guess I live in a 15 minute city now, because I can get to work, shopping, and entertainment by either walking, bike share, or public transit. Needing a car to do go everywhere just makes things congested, polluted and unsafe.
The framing here is so dishonest, So far all of the 15 minute city proposals do not do anything to increase access to anything. All they do is impose huge fines on people who travel outside of there 15 minute zone. This is about control.
These “ fines” are to prevent residential streets from being throughfares and make them use other roads. Car drivers need to stop feeling they are entitled to any street they want to drive on. Cars have ruined our cities!
And there's the problem. You say if they don't work you'll move on to something else. But what you don't say is if they don't work you will remove them. The people already know you never remove a plan that has failed. What you do is say "well we just need to tweak it a bit by further restricting your travel". You know it's true governments have operated that way from the start.
youre a conspiracy nut, dude. lmao give me 5 examples of countries that have explictly and forcebly restricted their citizens' movement to the extent of not being able to leave an area. north korea doesnt count because its basically a mass concentration camp and doesnt reflect the modern world.

Yes they are. A large percentage of people can’t afford to live close to where they work, so many people drive 30 to 50 or more minutes to and from work everyday. And what about couples? Even if one person in a household works only 15 minutes from their home, their spouse would also be limited to jobs within the same 15 minute radius?
One thing that's become evident from this discussion is that the paranoia that conservatives seem to associate with 15 minute cities has NOTHING TO DO with the actual concept or implementation of a 15 minute city plan. They're worried about a totalitarian authoritarian dystopia, but that could exist WITH OR WITHOUT a 15 minute city plan. If your government is authoritarian it doesn't matter if you drive or bike or walk to work. It functionally doesn't make a difference, so there's no point in associating this paranoia with 15 minute cities specifically.
@@helenafaust8899 The car centric suburban pattern of development has only existed for the past 80 years of human civilization whereas we've been building 15 minute walkable cities for thousands of years. Look around you, if there is any pen then you're already living in it.
This is how we used to live before the car took over, cities had trams, buses and trains, people walked and cycled, but the car took over first in the US, then in Europe and the rest of the world has built their cities around the car. We need to get back to local boroughs and districts that have everything you need within 10 to 15 minutes walk or cycle. This is nothing new.
@@jacoboc2244 I live in Rio, which has many boroughs that can be considered 15 minute cities, in fact it takes you only 5 minutes to walk or bike to whatever you need. The majority of businesses in these boroughs are small businesses run by local people. Yes, there are some big companies such as Macdonalds, various banks, pizza huts, etc. But to imply that everything is being taken over by some global superstate is just fantasy and doesn't have anything to do with what goes on in these areas. Local businesses on high streets thrive once you remove the through traffic and give it back to the people, there are numerous examples of this.
@@michaelwhitacre8499 I would call it reclaiming what was ours before it was taken away from us by the auto industry and big oil.

But it is a hard sell as the majority of people just couldn't imagine life without their own personal car. I've been car free for 6 years now, best thing I ever did but I live in a city that has decent public transport and alternative transport infrastructure (bike stuff).
@@jacoboc2244Cities are built by the government, you have this fantastic ideal that it isn't the governments place to determine how or where cities are built, but at the same time object to large corporations making those decisions. You simply can not have it both ways. It is the governments job to organize and coordinate where and how cities are built. It's very strange that you both simultaneously believe that the government should stay out of business as much as possible while also believing that the unregulated corporations are the problem.
Segregation by race and class. Its not a conspiracy read the facts! Not allowed to leave your zone! Only allowed to work in your zone for whatever company owns everything in your ghetto.

Emergency vehicles would be able to respond to emergencies faster if there are fewer cars on the road. Senior citizens who have low income probably could do without the expenses that comes with car ownership. When it comes to age and disability, those impact people's ability to drive too. Forcing senior citizens or disabled people to drive if they want to get anywhere endangers everyone, whereas a walkable space with more room for wheelchairs, raised crosswalks, etc. are all better for senior citizens and disabled people than car-centric design.

There's a big problem here. Everyone's getting traffic restrictions intertwined with the 15 minute city. The 15 minute city does not have to restrict traffic.
but it does. in order to do it you need to close down roads. Everything you want is never going to be within 15 min. what if your friend lives in a town 30 min away. you will have to pay fines in order to drive their.
@@Adol666 Of course you don't fine them. It's just about making sure that most of the amenities we need are accessible within a 15 minute walk. This reduces traffic for all of us. It's something we should all want. Traffic tolls/restrictions etc are a different debate to be had.
"15 minute cities" are central planners using bureaucracy to deal with the foreseeable unintended consequences of past central planning. Free market urban development tends to produce very efficient land use patterns without government planners, however this has been severely constrained by "good intentions" for at least a century.
I actually think it's worse than that. They know exactly what they are doing, in an effort to control us all. So many people won't wake up until it's too late.

the deep irony with your statements is that "15-minute cities" are, in fact, the free market design of cities. without horribly restrictive zoning laws and building regulations mid-rise apartments would be everywhere, and don't forget small businesses thriving and not dying. 15 minute cities are, in fact, the most efficient and liberating way for us humans to live in. car dependency makes us slaves to oil and auto companies.

You will drive there. 15 minute cities are not about restricting travel, its about making a neighborhood having most of the stuff you need so you dont have to drive everywhere all the time. Most European towns are 15 minute cities already. Lots of small businesses everywhere, bakeries, hairdressers, coffeshops, grocerie stores...
1) In other words, 15 minute concentration camps 2) with everyone being vaccinated, it is likely, it is very likely world population will decrease drastically in the near future. 15 minutes cities are for future decreased population control.

With the aging population and less healthcare personnel available, elderly rely more on family to take care of them. Often, family does not live in the same city so travel outside the city is necessary.
The point of the 15 minute city is to reduce the time it takes to do daily activities. It doesn't require the sacrifice of private transportation, it simply limits the motion of private transportation in inner cities to favour pedestrians.
Take the businesses and what ever out of where they are now . Move them out side of the city then you don't have congestion going downtown . It is easier to move businesses than build new cities . Then People can decide where they want to live . Seems simple to me .

The government funds people who oppose 15 minutes cities so that they can more easily restrict the movement of the people. All they need is to close down a road and you won't get anywhere. The government wants to have people not to engage with their communities by keeping them in suburbs, being reliant on their cars just to get some food or visit the doctor's. Bicycles are harder to control, that's why they fund an agenda to oppose them. Just like the saying goes, | "A Cyclist is a disaster for a country's economy. They do not buy car insurance or fuel. They do not send their car for servicing and repairs. They do not pay for parking, or pay road tax. They do not require highways with multiple lanes."
car dependency forces a lifestyle onto people. not everyone wants to drive, nor do they have the ability to do so. and yet, they have no choice but to accept driving or be treated like a second class citizen. 15 minute cities offer an alternative. they offer different options so that if you don't wanna drive you don't have to, and if you DO wanna drive you can still do so. don't listen to the conspiracies.
In Britain after creating 15min cities they have started to ban vehicles from certain areas and started fining citizens for violations. What about the elderly, the disabled and etc that cannot walk or ride a bikes . The citizens will l literally be restrained within their cities.
What about vacationing? What if you have a special skillset and that job in your city doesn't fly, infact doesn't matter about your skillset, does this mean that every citizen of that city has to ONLY work in their city or is it 15 min from where they live, meaning they can do business outside of their city if it is in another town/suburb/etc next to where they live?

Hundreds of species disappear every year : don't care. Climate change : I like warm weather. Rising ocean : who cares, I don't live near the see ? Stop using six roads crossing the city : massive riots. Restrict the car seems less manageable for some people than loosing a limb.
You're only allowed to travel in the city in which you are in prisoned and have no line of communication to the other cubicles sounds like divide-and-conquer to me
That's not what 15 minute cities are. Clearly the propaganda of automobile companies has got to you. I suggest you have a look at European cities; that's what a 15 minute city is. Heck, even in America, look at New York and downtown Boston.
You know, literally most cities in Europe are 15 minute cities. I live in such a city, what does it mean to me? I have 7+ grocery stores within a 10 minute radius, 5 bakeries, 5 pharmacies, several taverns/restaurants, 3 parks, 2 outdoor gyms. I can walk & bike safely, so can children, teens, elderly. If I want to I can own and use a car without much traffic (since 30-40% of people don't need them) I don't need the paywall of a car just to get around.... uaaaagh, I don't think I can survive this TERRIBLE dystopia. 🤣 Honestly, the real dystopia is the one the automotive industry has lobbied for during the past 70 years. It's a dystopia where you NEED a car to get around, where you are isolated from everyone else and everyday services, It's an urban landscape where you experience food deserts, and you need to pay an automotive paywall just to live everyday life.
The walk and cycling is not innocuous when the road access is removed. Also these are not just regular needs based locations. The purpose of c40 cities is to include the smart city tech into these cities. If you do not understand that or the discrimination included then you are just propaganda machine.
Cities are structured to be expensive and inefficient. People come up with fixes, then the fixes get weaponized against the people that came up with fixes. Spectacle
cities are more efficient than rural/suburban areas... thats why they exist solutions to help suburban/rural areas have been forced onto cities and now there genuine movement to rebuild cities for their residents
I suppose to what we're lying on the 2000 pound piece of machinery . To get you everywhere you need to go that's not normal dude . We are not meant to live secluded lives hundreds of miles away from civilization
What if I told you that lots of cities in the Western world designed before the invention of cars. All beautiful Medieval atmosphere and architecture. No noise and pollution made by those hydrocarbon-powered pedestrian crushers on wheels. Reject modernity and embrace tradition!
This will actually mean that people will have to take a much longer route which will create more population and why do they need to impose 15 minute cities if most cars will be eleectic soon anyway?
Because the EV is a joke. Can't get out hands on enough Cobolt. And I won't support what and who have to work as slaves to mine the Cobolt. And our gov lies lies lies to us, why would we trust them. I love owning my own home and car. And I am already 15 min from everything I need. If only we had a goverment we could trust!!
Most cars will NOT be electric, there is not enough of the required materials and infrastructure to make this possible, it is a WEF pipedream that will never materialise it is also one of the reasons these SCUM want you locked down permanently in your local area.
@@nishiljaiswal2216 This is not about making nice communities, its about using a "current thing" agenda to tax you more heavily and try to make you more compliant. The anti democratic nature of the councils who try to bring this in is also disgusting. NOBODY voted for this, virtually nobody except green cultists wants it (maybe 8% of the population). Its anti people, anti freedom, and anti democratic, these people need to be all voted out and the attempted measures put in place destroyed every day by all right minded citizens. This will not be classed as vandalism but rather positive anti fascist action.
@@nishiljaiswal2216 because it's not a 'one size fits all ' it's not practical or possible in a lot of places. The cost would be enormous. And yet a lot of countries haven't the infrastructure in place , or the money available for such big changes. What about elderly or disabled people etc. Not everyone can cycle or walk , and not all places have great public transport. Very nice for the rich to think of this yet they carry on as normal. It's being used in london to tax and fine people more and more.
People will accept it as long as you create strong protections of their rights and freedoms. If all the government want to do is force people to accept it then what else will the government force their people to accept.
a 15 minute city will be inheritly more prosperous due to lower utilities, car, etc etc the only cost that'll go up if land value taxes until the demand is met and prices can recover. A prosperous society generally see's lower crime rates, along with better social cohesion
A lot of cities are already 15 mins, it's only a catchy name to describe the idea. Why don't capable able drivers realise that the bus/train/bike paths/pavements are for them too, not just those already doing it? Everyone's welcome to join in, save money and enjoy the ease of it.
how do i take rubbish to the tip i have dogs to get to vets or to the park .i like to meet up with mates to have a guitar jam up how do i get to them on a bike with a guitar amp pa mike stands etc ,,,i like to have every thing to hand in a 15 minute walk but my family and friends are spread out ......so i do not want it ,,,no thanks
This is my second post. I looked through 2 times. No post. Why... Cause I reviled to much. I'll just say that there are much more negatives, then the positives. Do your own deep research, so you will no everything.
oh yes lets just put a toll on the rd and force the poor off the rd ? so they aren't able to travel further than they can walk or cycle. win win for the rich
Oya hospital 15 minutes apart lol. Walmart 15 minutes apart lol. Gas station school 15 minutes apart lol. It's not like China we are going to put up cameras just for looks. Lol I love how they grind its a joke. While carbon tax is making my life cost more and more. Food gas power and every other item all up in price because carbon
