I can see it maybe working in London, but there is no chance outside of it. Again, it's a London vs the rest of the UK policy. PeopleSo how would a 15min city solve this problem? They would have to force people to take jobs closer to home in order to reduce the commuting and "make the model work". The consequence of this would be that people were taking less well paid jobs than they would otherwise have and so there would be a reduction in wealth inside the 15min city.
That is already marked as a big problem, which encourages social class separation. The truth is that everyone is in a 15-minute prison. It just depends on the quality of the prison house you live in.I therefore suspect that 15min cities will reduce affluence of their populations and will therefore be unpopular for most of the people forced to live in them. Note that if this is true anyone who finds themselves in a 15min city will try to leave and so the government will be forced to restrict movement in order to prevent the abandonment of the model. They will likely need compulsion to make them work.
Exactly so! The initial thought is cool, but then you do some interrogation, and it falls apart. When you lay it out as you have, it looks very authoritarian, something that the UK has been great at implementing over the past decade and a bit.Sorry Spenny, but:
On paper, they suck.
