How to Escape Gridlock without Flying Cars

How to Escape Gridlock without Flying Cars

The Guardian newspaper covered the unlikely city, O’Fallon, IL, and its similarities to Paris, France.

The City’s master plan follows the same organizing concept as Paris: the 15-minute city.

Residents should have all they need within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from home.

The average shopping trip in the US is more than seven miles.

#Deloitte identified the 15-minute city as a key trend for the urban future.

The concept has received support from urban planners and architects who believe it can help create more sustainable, equitable, and livable cities in the future.

O’Fallon is not a primary city like Los Angeles or New York, but it does offer a way to find ways to create housing for the #missingmiddle and ending #fooddeserts.

Instead of mega projects, cities like Paris and O’Fallon keep it local.

According to studies, the more parks and services in a neighborhood, the more people travel locally.

#cohousing does something similar in that it asks the residents what they want.

O’Fallon did the same and is now reconsidering if traditional suburban zoning is more appropriate.

Their plans take into consideration mixed densities, and different housing types to accommodate young and old, while accommodating non-drivers (bike and pedestrian paths).

With the conversations about working from home and paying rent premiums to live in the urban core continuing, the 15-minute will gain traction to accommodate affordability for those who don’t live in prosperous enclaves but will want to benefit from living in a city that offers them what they need.
