(15minute) cities are hot again! The idea that you should be able to walk (or bike) to most amenities and services you rely on daily has taken a new life of its own in the last few years. In this episode, we introduce the initial notion of a 15minute city and trace its origins in urban planning and other urban disciplines, at least several decades back. We then open the "hot take" door for Rachel, Levi and Dani to discuss whether they're really new (no), and whether they are even desirable (maybe). Stay with us for the time you'd be able to sample at least three of the neighborhoods discussed in the episode!
