Summary
15-Minute Cities: A popular urban planning idea has been twisted into a conspiracy that governments want to trap citizens in restricted zones, limiting freedom of movement. Despite being debunked, it’s gained traction online. At its heart, the 15-Minute City is a simple idea, popularized by urbanist Carlos Moreno. It envisions neighborhoods where residents can reach most of their daily necessities – like work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure – within a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit trip from their homes. The goal is to create more livable, connected communities, reducing car dependency, traffic congestion, and carbon emissions, while boosting public health and local businesses. <br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support</a>.
