From Wikipedia: The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.

This urban planning concept envisions a future where all essential facilities are within a 15-minute walking or cycling distance - however, some critics worry about its potential impacts on personal freedoms.
