ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
O'Rourke said the 15-minute neighborhood/city cannot be a vision in a report, it has to be a shift of spending.
She said a city budget is a reflection of true priorities – is the
spending on infrastructure for people, or cars?
“COVID has definitely helped people understand the importance of their local neighborhood more than ever,” she said.
“Why the interest in 15-minute neighborhood has sparked again?
If they are able to access all their goods and services within 15-minute walk, it’s so much more convenient in the pandemic.
And people are seeing how convenient a neighborhood is where needs
can be met on foot.”
