I believe it’s the concept of a city where every destination you might visit regularly is no more than 15 minutes away, either by foot or public transit. No car infrastructure needed.
They told people that you’d not be able to leave that area. It was a bollocks scare tactic but it worked and it helped the car industry stimie walkability measures, cycle projects and public transport proposals.
What’s a 15 minute city? I don’t remember that one.

How did they manage to spin that as scary? That sounds amazing.

Their base is made up of people who have never entered a city and are convinced that they are literal warzones
It’s a prison, man! They want to take away your FREEDOM!!
That sounds like a great idea for cities that were designed before automobiles existed.
It can be done in cities that were designed for automobiles, it just takes more work.
