Culdesac is a concerted effort to transform a windswept desert lot into the portrait of a #15minute #city. The company has partnered with Bird #scooters and the #carsharing network Envoy. They gave free Lectric #ebikes to the first 200 residents to sign a lease. The property even abuts a light rail stop. Instead of a parking garage, visitors can use any of the 1,000 bike-parking spaces.

I really like how Chuck Marohn of #StrongTowns put together this content, with a 1 min 16 sec cut to the chase and 58 minute long deep dive: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/3/13/conservative-reaction-15-minute-cities?apcid=0061975856bdd2d9a00b4d01&utm_campaign=230314-digest&utm_content=230314-digest&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ortto #conservatives #15minute #cities #urbanism #traditional

How to make #urban areas more #resilent while getting the residents on board with your plans.

Great example of transformation into a #15minute city that combines #climate friendly concepts with #gentrification and a proper change in #mobility. 🙂

Reading up on some of the crazy stuff going on about #15minute neighbourhoods. How the far right has jumped on them as a sinister global plot to curtail their freedoms. Far right rallies in my home town Oxford, with accompanying crazies.

The city I live in has 15 minute neighbourhoods, I live in one. It's easy to drive around, the shops are handy, and as far as I am concerned the people getting irate have no idea what they're talking about.

#hashtags #15minute & #20minuteneighbourhood appear frequently on the bird site but I don't see much here. Anyone on @Mastodon to point me in the right direction please?
