Which of the following comes closest to your view on 15-minute districts?
Context:
Edmonton's City Plan, approved by the previous council, introduced the 15-minute communities concept here, though it was well established elsewhere. The current council has since passed the associated district planning policy. Though the 15-minute concept has become a global lightning rod for conspiracy theories, at its root, it seeks to see a city designed to allow more of one's daily errands to be doable within a 15-minute walk, bike, or transit trip. This broad idea suggests shifts to housing and commercial development in established districts, and de-prioritizes Edmonton's previous design ethos of building a city that's easy to drive through.
