READ THEIR 15 min city Rules first!! They implied that "all you need is 15 minutes away, as if they know what you need," if you read between the lines. This sentence can be changed to with. If it's not 15 minutes, you no longer need it because WE decided that you will only be able to access a certain number of alternatives and nothing else. Don't forget that all of your rights will be subject to limitations. The term "15 min." denotes a maximum time limit of 15 minutes during which you must remain inside the doors. You would only be permitted to drive your automobile 25 times a year and would require a permission if you wanted to travel beyond the city.
I live near one of the areas that they used for the experiment. The modules in my location never really got put to use, except for the occasional vandalism. The bike and scooter stands was rarely used because of the extremely high gap between the pavement and the module floor. And maybe it was only my area, but plants and flowers got torn out of the crates by kids or drunks and it just looked trashed after a couple of months. I seldom saw anyone using the benches (probably because it wasn't an interesting area to hang out in). Although it slowed down a whole block and the sounds levels decreased a lot, since they had to close down a road. I would love to see what kind of improvements they're working on for future implementation.
These benches are way over intellectualised. Bike racks don't usually take you this much space, neither do benches. They also look incredibly uncomfortable.
If you liked this video without reading their rules you were lied to and mislead with clear mis-information, how so did they explain the rules, punishments, fines, limits to how far you can walk and bike, curfew, limit to car travel 100 times 1 year, which will be reduced to 25 times 1 year and you have to get a permit from the council, permits are also limted!
Anyone who uses "they" as some blanket term to describe a mysterious evil elite that is pulling the strings is usually not capable of producing a coherent argument with substance against the actual points presented
I'm confused. The video begins with the revolutionary idea that cities will be transformed so that everything you need is just 15 minutes away. Then Sweden gets even more radical by focusing on what it can deliver within 1 minute from your home. Amazing! They accomplish this interesting feat by turning streets into "critical connecting spaces for community." Wow!! Did they invent a portal that pipes in experiences from around the city? Is it a pop-up retail/work/play system that rotates throughout the city?? What could this be??? No, it's a wooden bench and bike rack. Uh...
Sweden has a great reputation, but reality is better in other European countries. Poland for example has in my experience better decentralisation in urban areas. And I found the urban atmosphere to be superior in Germany and Denmark too. All have one thing in common, no Systembolaget :P
Living in a city _is_ convenient but l like where I live now. It's often so quite that while sitting on my porch I can hear my heart beating or leaves landing in the grass. It feels like the world is...more real. Sitting on a bench in the street is no substitute for that. 😶 I work in the city, it's a 45 minutes drive each way but it's worth it. (Southeast US) Will not live in a city again.
You mean freedom is exclusive to those that can drive? Because I’m physically disabled and unable to drive. So you’re saying I don’t deserve freedom because the way I was born
The planning of the city matters, also opinion of people is very negative. So I am in the financial district having a cup of coffee with a bunch of people, and one guy says "omg they are putting a new bike lane on some streets, I pay taxes they put bike lanes for the hippies." Everyone agreed with that meanwhile that gentleman and everyone else got a mansion outside of downtown. Education sure is important
@The Stammering Dunce it says one minute city, how does benches and bike racks help. No need for this thing in the middle of a road, traditional bike racks are better.
@The Stammering Dunce yes I know, but there are more better alternative, like normal bike racks that take less space and less materials to make. + Benches are put somewhere people love to sit not in the middle of the road.
@Hot Cellardoor I disagree, we definitely need more walkable cities and public transport. But just like trains and trucks serve different roles , the car too will still be a part of cities (even in downtown areas)
Sounds great, let's see how it pans out in reality. I understand that point but when you say 1 min, most people can't even get out of their house/building in one minute. I would love a more integrated street but we will need to address the underlying problems before we can make this a reality imo.
This model doesn't apply to lots of climate and urban forms. As a Peruvian who lives in a city where I can put flip-flops and be at a pharmacy or a grocery store in less than 2 minutes: this seems an exciting.
I think you missed the point of the video. It didn’t claim to make every service of a city 1-minute away. The model aims to improve street design to make area for communities to connect with one another on their doorstep. However, I do think the name is a bit silly and misleading to be honest.
In order to achieve this goal, each citizen needs to understand the current situation of the city and the desired future. But I don’t t think that those don’t match the standard now.
"Having an opinion" doesn't make one "extremely expert" on a subject, even an expert on the street outside their door. The reason actual experts are left to make decisions is because important issues require professional evaluation and development. Nobody would want to live in a neighborhood designed by my gran.
But wait! There's more! My benches can also do a Black Lives Matter! How? No clue. I am much too busy revolutionizing the concept of what a city is and can be by adding bike racks.

The Netherlands does distributed small cities very well. There are hundreds of small city « centers » throughout the country that are well-connected by public transit (all on the same pay-as-you-go card), that you can usually get daily needs within walking distance, or at least a bike ride. The stores have also adapted, with world scale distributers like Albert Heijn providing >800 smaller neighborhood supermarkets throughout this small country with prices similar to their larger super-centers. A car is not needed.
In America we've finally achieved 2 hour city.

Reminds me of San Francisco’s “shared spaces program” and parklets quite a bit
They are just wooden benches...
Not sure but I think it's supoosed to be both a gathering spot for people and a storage for bikes/escooters that helo with 1 min transportation.
