News:Politics
Being able to reach key facilities, like schools and shops, within 15 minutes, would make city life really comfortable, right?

They think that 15-minute cities are all about population control.
In this episode we explore how the protests, online abuse against proponents of the 15-minute city idea, and an explosion of climate deniers’ hashtags illustrate how conspiracies keep reincarnating.
