Episode: What are '15 Minute Cities' and why are some frightened by the idea?
Description: The concept of 15-minute cities is the idea that all daily necessities – like work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure – can all be reached with a 5-minute walk, bike ride, or by public transit.  While the idea has been embraced by many countries, some conspiracy theorists have described the notion as an instrument of government repression. Today on The Front Page, University of Auckland school of architecture and planning lecturer Bill McKay joins to explain 15-minute cities and discuss whether we should be worried.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever...
