To review, a 15 minute city is a town where everything is within 15 minutes walking distance of everything else. You can walk clear across it from one side to the other in 15 minutes. This is the new residential/business planning guide for new developments and the idea behind it is to limit the use of cars. At least, that’s what we’re told. But it’s not just that. This is going to severely limit the ability of people to travel. More on that on down below.
Cities previously were designed for horse-drawn carriage transportation, which was easily adapted to motor vehicles when they replaced the carriages. Now the plan is to end that and design smaller towns for foot traffic, that have all the necessities, shops, health and so on and any of them can be reached on foot in 15 minutes.
This idea is spreading, and the first applications of it are to convert large cities into a bunch of little 15 minute towns. According to Liberty Nation News, “a similar program known as the Complete Neighborhood concept is in place in Portland, OR.” along with Oxford, England, the European cities of Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Oslo. Meanwhile, there’s plans for a 20-minute city in Detroit, MI.
15 minute towns will really only work if you have a lot less people. The real plan here is to, first, break up the cities into these 15 minute areas, and that can really only be done by shutting down the city areas encircling them and emptying them, and that can only be done by getting rid of the inhabitants of those areas.
If the the population of a large city can be reduced from 8 or 10 million down to a few 100 thousand, then the people can be re-distributed to the selected 15 minute areas.
In other words, this 15 minute city plan is part of the Globalist plan to reduce humanity to 500 million people. It won’t work well in large cities. The cities will have to be broken up.
Here’s one way that travel is going to be severely limited, according to Liberty Nation News: High tech license plate readers have been installed in Oxford and their purpose is to “fine drivers from outside the county of Oxfordshire who entered central areas during high-traffic periods,” according to Bloomberg, which also noted, “Oxford residents will be allowed fine-free peak-hour access for 100 days per year, with residents of the wider county able to apply for a 25-day fine-free access permit.”
County, but non-city, residents will only be able to do business or visit in Oxford for 25 days out of the year and a permit to do that is required or there’s fines. The actual residents of Oxford get 100 days a year to drive in town during “peak hours”, whatever those are, and that can mean any time span they want it to.
Now do this in all the other cities mentioned above, and do it in all the smaller cities and towns in Europe, the USA and Canada. Eventually the only traffic you’ll see on Interstate highways will be freight trucks and government vehicles.
I couldn’t see how the Globalists were going to make these 15 minute cities work, with all the people on the planet. But it will be easy once all those people are gone.
