OLD-FASHIONED COMPACT, CONVENIENT, MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FOR A MODERN, POST PANDEMIC, WALKABLE WORLD
Strong Towns Senior Editor Daniel Herriges emphasizes that the 15-minute neighborhood saves cities the high cost of maintaining sprawl.
“It's important to remember that the cost premium for compact, mixed-use neighborhoods is largely a function of artificial scarcity, he said.
“Fifteen-minute
neighborhoods, and the kinds of housing that work well in them, are not
expensive to create or maintain.
They often
have high real-estate values only because they are very popular and we haven't
built enough of them in the last few decades.
