Right now, I can get almost anything in a twenty minute walk, the only exceptions are a bakery and a hardware store. And I only upped it by five minutes so I could include the pharmacy and coffeeshop. And this is in an underdeveloped neighborhood, full of vacant lots and detached SFHs with yards. The dream is possible, the problem is getting people to see it and developers to build it.

From Wikipedia: The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.

Contradiction: Copenhagen, notably walkable and bikeable city, was razed in the first half of the 20th century for parking and roads to make it more like an american city of today. They rebuilt before being the active transport friendly city that is now is.
what if we built ... new cities...
