so 5 minute cities as opposed to 15 minute cities?
most of these "studies" are paid for to skew a particular result
yeah something like that. who are these studies paid for by? curious to hear the arguments against a 5 or 15 minute city
They make it sound like some sort of utopia but it's the surveillance and other things that go along with it that they don't mention. I visited UK in the summer. Wow, are they sleepwalking into a surveillance state!! There are lots of arguments against 5-20 mins cities but right now I have to go to bed! 😆
hah fair enough. would love to hear your full thoughts on the topic another time, might be a good idea for a full post of its own
I see what you've done there, cowboy.
Hm, it would increase the liveability for sure, though.
a bit of an out-of-the-box answer, i might have a different opinion if i had a deeper understanding of biology and cutting edge genetics innovations
You've redeemed yourself, there's nothing left to worry about, for now...
😅
hah not my intention… i’m just really skeptical that anyone has that kind of predictive power.
regardless, i’ll take my best guess at your original question and say zoning regulations and electric vehicles.
i think there are studies showing people are happier when they live within a 5 minute walk of their friends, and electric vehicles (scooters, bikes, boards, etc…) might be able to re-shape cities to have higher density, more connection, lower noise, lower stress, and lower costs.
the impact of all of that might be enough to meaningfully change expected lifespans of entire communities.
