The idea that cities should be designed around 15 minute hubs, where you should be able to walk to everything you need (job, grocery, school, hospital, restaurants, etc) within 15 minutes. From Paris's new plans to Barcelona's superblocks, it looks like cities across Europe at least are beginning to catch on to how appealing this way of living is. Thoughts on how to apply this to cities outside of Europe?

EDIT: The discussion going on here is fantastic and I love you all :heart-sickle:

    It's so frustrating to me that one of the most ruthlessly capitalist countries in the world has truly incredible public housing and nobody has been like "hmmm, isn't it weird that a place that is extraordinarily committed to capitalism couldn't make housing work and instead just decided to say 'fuck it' and instituted massive public housing that has worked wonderfully? Nah, not weird that's just a quirk capitalism can totally do housing fine."
