City Beautiful’s video on “How did planners design Soviet cities?” – first talking about khrushchevkas and then their organization into microdistricts – daily shopping, necessities, and services were to be located no more than 500m from any residence and (and major services like health were no more than 1500m away) – BUT all of this was predicated on easily accessible public transit and mass transit …

I grew up in microraion and now live in post-industrial loft. I envy greenery and how close everything is, when I visit those places.

Discussion about the path towards 15 minute cities. Post examples and discuss about how to make this a reality!

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.
