OLD-FASHIONED COMPACT, CONVENIENT, MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FOR A MODERN, POST PANDEMIC, WALKABLE WORLD
Anthony Breach, Senior Analyst at the UK-based Centre for Cities, has some concerns that the 15-minute city is unrealistic in terms of thinking there ever can be enough affordable urban core housing for the millions of people working hard at jobs that don’t pay well.
“People live
in suburbs not because they are stupid, but because of cheaper space outside
the city center.
If you force
them to own within 15 minutes of where they work, they are priced out,” he
said.
If you
discourage commuting from farther out, their economic opportunity is cut off.”
