A careless transit space for cars or a 15-minute city?
* It is the holiday season in Bellingen. Motorists idle in the streets or are stuck in traffic after long commutes. The landscape is reduced to a careless transit space which one wants to fly along as fast as possible. Fast food packaging is piling up along the roads. Squashed birds and furry pancakes line the runways. The drive-through town offers the essentials for life: petrol, meat and plonk. The peri-urban areas are populated by recreational petrolheads revving 24/7.
* "Carlos Moreno makes the case for the "15-minute city," where inhabitants have access to all the services they need to live, learn and thrive within their immediate vicinity -- and shares ideas for making urban areas adapt to humans, not the other way around." >>
