| Comment | Well, assuming it's a question posed in good faith...
Many of us already live in '15 minute cities'. Places where most everyday services (schools, doctors, a good range of grocery and household shops) are within a 15 minute walk.
But lots of people don't have that simple luxury. Whether living in poorly designed post-war housing estates with poor amenities, or living in areas separated from by physical barriers, often in the shape of roads, where they're locked into travelling some distance by car just to reach shops.
Glasgow, like many other cities across Europe, has a framework to improve those areas which have poor access to amenities, even nearby ones, and make it easier to access nearby services by foot, bike or public transport. Glasgow has lots of projects planned as part of this, mostly about removing barriers to active travel where they exist. |
