One of the first designs of this I have seen, an intentional 15-minute City that is in the heart of Tempe Arizona. They are accepting move-ins this october!

I've been really interested in this, but I have concerns. As far as I can tell, this is a startup. If some corporation owns your social media and turns it to garbage, you can just create an account somewhere else. What happens when the corporation that owns the place you live decides you haven't been adequately monetized? Or maybe worse, what happens when they decide the whole thing isn't profitable enough and they need to close it down for the tax write-off?

If not for these concerns, I would seriously check it out.

Discussion about the path towards 15 minute cities. Post examples and discuss about how to make this a reality!

From Wikipedia: 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. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.
