ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
“Virginia and Maryland -- the places where people who work in D.C. live in – they never had density and no one thought they would.
But over the past few decades, they have added density, offices, groceries, amenities and transit,” Florida said, pointing to those bedroom communities turned into more inclusive cities as an example to duplicate.
“They have allowed taller, more dense apartment buildings and look
where Amazon HQ2 is going – right in this area (in Arlington).”
The AARP, aware that many people
outlive the ability to drive a car to meet their needs and that living in
isolation has negative mental and physical health impacts, has become a leading
advocate for livable communities in a more dense, urban setting.
