ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
Jobs, housing, health care, groceries,
shopping, education, parks, services and more within a 15-minute walk or bike
ride. Fixed-route transit is plentiful, so no one has to own/maintain a car.
A compact, mixed-use area should have jobs to
uplift low-income folks and a city designed with a diversity of services should
address the needs of diverse people – those marginalized by color, gender,
physical ability, etc.
But the sad fact is, unlike a big
chunk of the post-World War II 20th century – when cities were affordable and
wealth was clustered in suburban homes – amenity- and activity-rich city
centers are increasingly affordable only to the upper class.
