Not sure if this has been asked before - if so, I would welcome if somebody could signpost me to the relevant thread.

Who has heard about this because I have not seen it on the News but when a friend told me about it I googled it and was rather surprised.

Is this the design thing where everything (work, medical and education services etc.) are all within fifteen minutes travel of a residential area?

I hadn't heard of it before this thread. However, on looking it up , I have not only heard of it, I have lived it.

Welcome to way life used to be!

Life pre supermarket, pre colossal secondary schools and un navigable hospitals which are cities within cities.

Everything was local in my time.

I will continue to see my few remaining years out in the same village I have lived in for the past 40 years.

I can see some value in the 15 minute Cities but think it would be hard to implement in most of the U.K. cities.

I gather that the opposition to this is so overwhelming that conspiracy theorists and nutters are being bussed in to protest.

Meanwhile surveys of locals seem to indicate they're somewhere between indifferent and happy about it.

Seems like a good idea but I feel like it would be seriously difficult to implement in existing cities considering they're already so densely arranged.

The reason I am bringing this up on here: A colleague told me about it during a work conversation this morning as apparently Solihull will be rolling it out. There are many other cities that consider it right now and my concern is why we are not hearing about this in the news? If you google it there is plenty of material under this title or the "20 minute neighbourhood" scheme.

Not a conspiracy follower but curious why this is not more widely known/ made known!

Not all that North of North London

Oxford has been hijacked by a bunch of lunatics like Piers Corbyn and Laurence Fox who seem to believe that this is part of a dystopia future of climate change lockdowns and conspiracy theorists are convinced it is part of the 'great reset'. Obviously if asked what the great reset is they can't explain and go fir a derisory 'do your own research' but i digress.

The reality is far more sensible and seems to want to promote sustainable transport and a move away from car reliability while improving local amenities.

Not sure why people are so angry about that

I am not angry about it at the moment - really just concerned that this seems to be going on without people being informed. I get the principle idea of sharing resources and reducing impact on environments etc but there should be a degree of informing the public and in some cases seeking consultation?

But on the serious point, how can it be a bad idea to make sure amenities are close to people.

The conspiracy bit, as far as I can tell, is that you would then be forced to remain within your 15 minute zone somehow, which is patently ridiculous.

Especially as the area I live in has a huge imbalance of teachers it seems..... so all the schools would have to be here.

Further up the coast are very many doctors.......... do they all have to work in the one hospital ?

Does this not constitute a somewhat binary view of the world, if conspiracists are against it, it is not worth reading?

I try to read not just within my own echo chamber (I am as I said NOT a conspiracist) because I want to be informed as widely and objectively as possible and dismissing something without reading it to me makes no sense if I want to get closer to the truth.

When I first heard about this I went to the relevant council website (it was Oxford, as it happens) and read some of the documents about it. (I'd probably have read all of them if it were relevant to me. I read enough to satisfy my curiosity)

Where are all the poor drug dealers going to go ? This is a shambles! Do they walk for 15 minutes or is everyone allowed to walk to them ? God help the ice cream man with such a short round.....

There's many good ideas already working in suburban areas in Europe, local services etc and cutting down on commuting looks positive from several aspects..

A 15 minute walk or cycle is all well and good for young fit & healthy people on a nice warm day.

Most of these utopia style ideas never show pictures of real humans getting about in real weather.

Restricted movement will be a thing if you’d prefer to use your car, which is more likely the real agenda here.

The principal is based on a 15min walk. Not a 15min drive.

It's about actually putting accessibility, sustainability, and community at the front when it comes to town planning.

I remember reading about how it's been done in (I think) a Scandinavian country with social housing.

It's about ensuring every home has a shops, a community centre, a doctor a dentist, school, decent public transport etc all in a walkable distance.

It builds community while reducing the reliance on private (or even public) transport.

The conspiracy theorists have decided this means you'll need to have a permit to leave your city.

I have read a bit about it. What about the towns, you wont jam us all in the cities. And, didnt we already used to have this, for example with hospitals we had at least four smaller hospitals all withn 15/20 mins before 'they' shut them and made us drag 50 mins to a city hospital in an emergency. There will have to be more building going on. In theory it sounds great and convenient, but dont go trying to take peoples cars off them, they wont like it.

Guys. Girls. Calm down. It’s just a standard bit of urban planning theory. It’s an attempt to find ways to make our cities a bit nicer. There’s no hidden agenda. They’re trying to help.

Look around. Our town and city centres are fucked. Retail isn’t enough to base them on any more. Shops are failing left, right and centre. For the good of everybody, urban space needs rethinking with a more balanced mix of housing, shopping, culture, schools and green space. Let the urban planners do their jobs and figure out a better plan for all our futures.

None of this is about taking people’s cars away. It’s about giving people nicer places to live and work.

If traffic is reduced, then great. That’s a nice side effect. But you don’t reduce traffic with bans and penalties (despite what done local councils seem to think). You reduce traffic by giving people other options. Like improved, affordable, public transport and walkable city centres.

"I heard about it and it seems like it is another way of controlling people."

Utter nonsense.

It's simply a town planning tool to reduce reliance on fossil fuel vehicles. The idea being that people should be able to shop, go to school, get medical care with a 15min walk/bike/public transport radius of their home. There's absolutely nothing about having to remain in your "zone", that's the conspiracy theorist bullshit.

Why would we need extra consultation on having amenities closer to where we live??

Also pls watch the Newsnight piece on 15 minute cities. It's short + easy to find on youtube. And it does a good job of showing how disinformation/conspiracy theories got tangled up with this.

"I already live this way.

Primary school

Secondary school

Town centre shops

Supermarket

Health centre

and my work, all within 15 minutes by car.

The county hospital I can do in 15 minutes,and have done, but it wasn’t legal

The principal is based on a 15min walk. Not a 15min drive.

It's about actually putting accessibility, sustainability, and community at the front when it comes to town planning.

I remember reading about how it's been done in (I think) a Scandinavian country with social housing.

It's about ensuring every home has a shops, a community centre, a doctor a dentist, school, decent public transport etc all in a walkable distance.

It builds community while reducing the reliance on private (or even public) transport.

The conspiracy theorists have decided this means you'll need to have a permit to leave your city. "

Ahh, right, I hadn’t noticed anyone mention the walk but, just the 15mins.

Walking wouldn’t work for me.

I was just thinking also how it would work if you have a lot of family in different parts of the country or even abroad. What if you were to become a carer for a relative?

What about all the pleasurable non-local things like theatre, concert, sport event in a different city or, dare I say, attending a swingers event somewhere away? (The latter is tongue in cheek

"Are people to be allowed out of the 15 minute zone?

There is no zone. And no restrictions on movement. It’s just about trying to make sure there are plenty of amenities near to everybody’s homes.

Yes, my question was really aimed at making people think a bit about the control aspect that is worrying them.

I think we're living in interesting times. We're bombarded on every side with news and information, very little of which is good or trustworthy.

I think to myself what are the benefits and to who of keeping the vast majority of the population in one place for long periods of time.

Okay this is where people are starting to confuse two different things.

You’re talking about congestion charges or Low Emission Zones. These are a separate thing, about reducing pollution in built-up areas.

One of the problems facing local authorities right now is trying to make traffic/pollution targets match up with housing/transport targets and planning intentions.

So they may want to help build amenities everywhere in line with this 15-minute concept. But they also have the UK Gov telling them they have to cut pollution by X amount.

And the only way they can think to do that within their current budget is with a big stick - Low Emission Zones and fines for older/bigger cars entering the city centre. That’s unfortunate, and frustrating, but it’s because they can’t afford the better approach - the carrot of free public transport, for example.

If you’re against Low Emission Zones, by all means campaign against them. But don’t conflate them with another idea like 15-min cities - that’s how confusion creeps in and good, positive ideas could run the risk of being caught up in the bad vibes.

There is no such proposal anywhere in the UK. I think you are probably getting mixed up with legislation about reducing air pollution from cars. Or somebody further back along the line of communication has mixed them up and you’ve ended up misinformed. Like Chinese whispers.

"The reason I am bringing this up on here: A colleague told me about it during a work conversation this morning as apparently Solihull will be rolling it out. There are many other cities that consider it right now and my concern is why we are not hearing about this in the news? If you google it there is plenty of material under this title or the "20 minute neighbourhood" scheme.

Not a conspiracy follower but curious why this is not more widely known/ made known!

What's in the news is largely a function of what the businesses that own the news decide to share"

"Ahh, right, I hadn’t noticed anyone mention the walk but, just the 15mins.

It doesn't work for me either. I can't walk for 15mins.

But it would mean many more amenities were accessable on my scooter, easing my dependance on my car if nothing else.

But for most people having, let's say an NHS dentist, within a 15 minute walk would mean they would potentially be more people walking to the dentist than currently having to drive an hour away

(Ha lolz jokes on you. The nearest NHS dentist to where I live that's taking on is 20 miles away, not possible to get to easily on public transport oh and is in a different county (it's in Yorkshire not even in Lancashire.)

Yes the clean air congestion charges will be rolled out widely in cities over time. But as you say that's completely different to a suggestion that you'd simply have to pay to cross the border from one zone to another.

I think it's more that it's just 'ideas'. But conspiracy nuts love it when there's nothing published (even though most ideas never happen). I had a good giggle when last week someone complained about the concept of 15 minute cities and having all required facilities and services on their doorstep, just after they'd moaned about having to travel miles for a hospital appointment and how locals in town weren't supporting local businesses and restaurants and were all heading to Bristol to shop, eat and use leisure facilities.

Local councils do their best but most of them have near-zero budget for communications and marketing. The UK Government don’t give them enough funding to do the things they’re making them responsible for delivering - and comms is never high on the list of priorities.

If you have an interest in this stuff - in what happens in your local area and what future plans for it might be - you really have to make the effort yourself to get involved. Get on to mailing lists from your local Council and its planning department. Make time to attend consultations. Download reports and read them. You have a say in all this stuff - you have a voice if you choose to use it.

We moved away from bug conglomerates to shop local and independent. Much better quality food and prices and great community when we use the local pub and cafes. The walking / riding is healthier and removes our car from the road with wasteful short journeys.

Happier with life and our local community.

Now to hit up "Who's Near" to find other local community

"I can't imagine anything more horrendous than living within 15 minutes walking distance of everything and everyone else. We don't even live within 15 minutes walk to our nearest neighbour, and we like it just fine that way."

It refers to city planning. I don't think they're going to shove a Sainsbury's in your forest......

"I was told that there would be a charge of £75 and a restriction on frequency - I have not seen evidence yet but it is being discussed and no, not necessarily by conspiracy theorists .

Someone’s making that nonsense up to scare people. God knows why. Best to ignore them.In oxford under these new filters that will start in 2040, residents will be able to drive freely around their own neighbourhoods, but will be fined up to £70 for driving into other neighbourhoods. I wonder if they have to seek permission to cross the 6 zones that it will be divided into, it seems complicated doesnt it?

Most london Boroughs are being rearranged into this. By 2030 full flow.

What do you mean by reset and master plan?"

"Oxford has been hijacked by a bunch of lunatics like Piers Corbyn and Laurence Fox who seem to believe that this is part of a dystopia future of climate change lockdowns and conspiracy theorists are convinced it is part of the 'great reset'. Obviously if asked what the great reset is they can't explain and go fir a derisory 'do your own research' but i digress.

The reality is far more sensible and seems to want to promote sustainable transport and a move away from car reliability while improving local amenities.

Not sure why people are so angry about that

I am not angry about it at the moment - really just concerned that this seems to be going on without people being informed. I get the principle idea of sharing resources and reducing impact on environments etc but there should be a degree of informing the public and in some cases seeking consultation? "

Where they are being proposed there is full local consultation …

You are saying there has been full local consultation in Oxford? Might I suggest absolutely not.? Given that most local people have no idea what is being proposed or why or what the impact is going to be on them.

Waiting for what?

"I was told that there would be a charge of £75 and a restriction on frequency - I have not seen evidence yet but it is being discussed and no, not necessarily by conspiracy theorists .

Someone’s making that nonsense up to scare people. God knows why. Best to ignore them.In oxford under these new filters that will start in 2040, residents will be able to drive freely around their own neighbourhoods, but will be fined up to £70 for driving into other neighbourhoods. I wonder if they have to seek permission to cross the 6 zones that it will be divided into, it seems complicated doesnt it?

Most london Boroughs are being rearranged into this. By 2030 full flow.

Herded and otherwise. Re-set and master plan.

What do you mean by reset and master plan?

Researce it.

Can yiy not just summarise what the great reset is and how thos impacts on it?

Google!' Thats what its for. Lazy .

Google won't tell us your understanding of it. Nor the particular angle you take.

This isn't school, it's a conversation.

So... Tell us your understanding of what the Great Reset is and what you think it'll do?

If you agree with me, then you agree that that's the best way to move forward. Unless you misunderstood what I said?"

Agree to what?

"The reason I am bringing this up on here: A colleague told me about it during a work conversation this morning as apparently Solihull will be rolling it out. There are many other cities that consider it right now and my concern is why we are not hearing about this in the news? If you google it there is plenty of material under this title or the "20 minute neighbourhood" scheme.

Not a conspiracy follower but curious why this is not more widely known/ made known!"

It’s not the idea of having everything you need within 15 minutes that most people have a problem with, it’s the restriction of movement that comes with it. Low traffic neighbourhoods, and only being allowed to drive outside of your 15 minute city 100 times a year and needing to be registered to be allowed, and if a 2 car family 50 times each otherwise be subject to fines. They’re doing it in Canterbury apparently. ]

"Oxford has been hijacked by a bunch of lunatics like Piers Corbyn and Laurence Fox who seem to believe that this is part of a dystopia future of climate change lockdowns and conspiracy theorists are convinced it is part of the 'great reset'. Obviously if asked what the great reset is they can't explain and go fir a derisory 'do your own research' but i digress.

The reality is far more sensible and seems to want to promote sustainable transport and a move away from car reliability while improving local amenities.

Not sure why people are so angry about that

I am not angry about it at the moment - really just concerned that this seems to be going on without people being informed. I get the principle idea of sharing resources and reducing impact on environments etc but there should be a degree of informing the public and in some cases seeking consultation?

Where they are being proposed there is full local consultation …

You are saying there has been full local consultation in Oxford? Might I suggest absolutely not.? Given that most local people have no idea what is being proposed or why or what the impact is going to be on them. "

Yes, full consultation. Info was made public …it was in local election manifestos as well …short of speaking to every person individually im not sure what more the council could do !

That's not true though is it?

If you're only allowed to do something a limited number of times or with a fee or with registering it is by definition restricted.

There are many other cities that consider it right now and my concern is why we are not hearing about this in the news? If you google it there is plenty of material under this title or the "20 minute neighbourhood" scheme.

Not a conspiracy follower but curious why this is not more widely known/ made known!

It’s not the idea of having everything you need within 15 minutes that most people have a problem with, it’s the restriction of movement that comes with it. Low traffic neighbourhoods, and only being allowed to drive outside of your 15 minute city 100 times a year and needing to be registered to be allowed, and if a 2 car family 50 times each otherwise be subject to fines. They’re doing it in Canterbury apparently. ]"

The Oxford proposal quite clearly states that up to 3 cars can registered to one address and each eligible for 100 trips

There is no restriction of movement.

There is if you drive.

So no restrictions on people. Glad we got that straight. Restrictions and payments for emissions zone apply ….

Restrictions suck

Not when you understand the impacts of not having restrictions on motor vehicles…."

Oh well keep up the good work then..

I’ll buy 3 cars and use a different one each day. Problem solved…

"Not sure if this has been asked before - if so, I would welcome if somebody could signpost me to the relevant thread.

Who has heard about this because I have not seen it on the News but when a friend told me about it I googled it and was rather surprised."

Before the thread gets too big.

Original urban development idea by Prof Carlos Moreno.

Subverted into a conspiracy theory aided by Jordan Peterson.

Perfect example of a good idea being taken into the lands of fantasy by people with dishonest intent.

Or just an idea. Not necessarily a good one.

Some details can be found on the gov website...

Whilst not specifically mentioning the tagline of 15 minute stuff... Its linked with restriction of movement, registration. And penalties for breach.

https://www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article/2250/proposals_to_trial_six_new_traffic_filters_in_oxford_announced

And here where it explains that pcns will be issued...

It's worth a read.... Or not...
