They are now trying to normalize WEF 15 Minute City in US, Firstly in Ohio, US.

In the report by a MSM outlet in the tweet. It states how its time Time is now to tap into federal dollars to address some of Cleveland's deeper problems.

The soultion to the problems of Cleveland problems? 15 Minute City.

Cleveland Ohio to become 15 Minute City



Imagine a Cleveland where everything you need is less than 15 minuses away.

It says ideal planning framework where human needs and desires are accessible within a 50 minute walk. Bicycle ride or transit trip And that's really what we're striving. For in this new planning mode.


As other people in the twitter tweet pointed how is this 15 minute city being approved? who approved the 15 Minute using federal tax dollars?

Seems Odd that every "Western/West,EU/Anglo" Society has decided on 15 Minute city planning?
Considering in the video the city planner had mentioned in this ideal framework of this 15 minute city.

Everything that you need is easily accessible within either "15 min or 50 mins distance"


To me it feels like a cities full of prison.
Considering that you would need Bicycle or transit to travel to those accessible areas that "humans needs"



One problem i had noticed with the idea of 15 Minute City those who keep supporting, pushing for it they keep avoiding on mentioning on the lack of any automobile's.

This framework seems amusingly wont work out the way they imagine.

No different than being a prisoner with an ankle monitor. I'm trying to remain optimistic about the future, that people will revolt and resist this, but it's getting harder and harder


This is no coincidence after the muliple train 'accidents' , all planned

And appearanly also a plane crash full of toxic spill experts (see twitter link) post , again no coincidence!
Why are people not in uproar ?!!

Yeah because the whole concept is that simple. Do you honestly believe all citizens are going to be within a 15min. walk of a bottlo, & so....all sweet...for everyone ?
No. Of course you don't. I really don't understand , especially in light of the last 3 & some years events & eye opening scenarios, how your critical thinking skills can lampoon that initial "bottlo utopia" vision in understandingly quick time & yet those skills abandon you pronto.
I'm curious why would you not make minimal effort to research what these 15min. cities are all about ? (*hint* not saturated suburbs with bottlo's ) instead of taking a dig at those who are aware of the potential tyranical purpose of these unrequested lifestyle reimaginings ?
Friend, people need to start waking the f up !

Don’t worry, it’ll only be a 5 min walk to get your (by then) 109th booster 🙄

The general idea of everything you need being within 15 minutes is a good goal for city planning. I know it is not always going to work out this way, but for the most part I can see worst ideas out there.

The fear of all this lock down rubbish does have some validity with how the government went on covid. Lot of check points and choke points got targeted. How many weak spots are there going to be in a 15 min radius from where you live? When getting out of the city, this 15 minute lock down has no infrastructure to stand on.

I know there are people that have very rarely left their own suburb, there are others that have traveled the world many times over. If I can do all my shopping and pay my bills with 15 minutes, great. If I have to go see Aunt Gladis on some reason, try and stop me.

Kind of sounds like the just in time supply chain. And doomed to the same failure, brought to you by the sellouts and idiots in charge that rule without consent.

I remember learning about "vision" with regard to planning and the future. You have none. Trust them, they have your best interests at heart. They always do.

Never been to Cleveland but I'm imagining it must be similar to Paris, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Boston and New York City, since the source of this idea, the illustrious WEF even admits it is not the best idea in suburban America.


It turns out, the concept is not always a fit. For one, the 15-minute neighbourhood doesn’t work so well for a suburban nation, like the United States. While it is easy to envision Paris, Copenhagen and Barcelona in small repeating parts – or even in certain places in the US like Manhattan and Brooklyn, or big slices of Boston and Cambridge in Massachusetts – it is harder to imagine this kind of reinvention of far-flung sprawling suburbs where the majority of Americans live. American cities and suburbs might only make the 15-minute cutoff if this could be done in a car.

And 15-minute communities do little to alter the harsh realities of economic and geographic inequality. They promise close-by amenities and luxurious walkability for the well-to-do urban gentry. They are mainly a fit for affluent urban neighbourhoods and far less a fit in the disadvantaged parts of our cities. As Harvard University’s Ed Glaeser points out, less advantaged groups are hardly able to live their life in their own disadvantaged neighbourhoods, which lack jobs, grocery stores and amenities found in more upscale communities.

Many of our urbanist colleagues find themselves asking what is so new about the idea of the 15-minute neighbourhood? They see the construct as little more than a rebranded notion of urban neighbourhoods or “villages”. Village life has many upsides – tight-knit communities, a relaxed pace of life, easy commuting – but it lacks the dynamism of a real city.

The reality is that urban life requires the broad expanse of entire cities and metro areas. And it is impossible to replicate some of the most important institutions – great universities, great museums, great theaters at a neighbourhood scale. Cities thrive because they create a market for these incredible institutions and assets.


Here is some more info, both quotes are from the same source... www.weforum.org...


One of the biggest urban ideas to emerge from the pandemic is the idea of the 15-minute city or 15-minute neighbourhood. Developed by French urbanist Carlos Moreno, 15-minute city refers to a place where all the necessities of daily life – shops, schools, workplaces, doctor’s offices, parks, libraries, restaurants and other amenities – are located in a short 15-minute walk or bike ride from home. In this way, each neighbourhood becomes an ‘isochrone’, an area that can be explored within a given time, giving all residents access to their needs a convenient walk away.

The 15-minute city aims to reorganize physical space around the human experience of time. Workers can live near their offices or co-working spaces, eliminating the commute. Anyone can walk to a small, nearby park without having to hunt for parking spaces. Community building will benefit too: parceling a city into smaller units makes it far more manageable from a social point of view.


Something tells me the citizens of Paris are maybe a little less rotund than those of Cleveland. Maybe all of a sudden the immobile masses will enjoy exercise and walking and biking everywhere. I doubt.

Editing to add that if they are seriously proposing to have doctors offices, libraries, workplaces and other "amenities" within 15 minutes of everyone, they better start building! My job is about a 10 minute drive but 3 hour walk away. Yes I walk slow. But let's be realistic. The elites aren't interested in adding more resources for us or as they call it "amenities". They are going to shove everyone they can into high-rise high occupancy apartments. That way its easier to be within 15 minutes of whatever they decide to give us.

People who live in dense city areas aren't going to be complaining that their cities will become more walkable... we've already seen what happens when we design an entire city around cars and when a economic downturn happened it was a long drawn out painful contraction back to being a somewhat walkable city, Detroit.

Ia designing cities around the automobile sustainable?

It isn't so dumb if you realise the fact that it won't be a choice to stay within the boundaries.
15 min cities monitor via licence plates how often you leave said boundaries. You'll get an allowance and when you are over you'll be fined.

That's only the start though. They will find reasons to up the game once everyone is used to this as 'soft 15min cities' aren't their end plan.

You really need to read up a little more about the things you so readily agree with.

Here in the UK, thousands are protesting against these prison cities and for freedom of movement.
Only for antifa to call people who want freedom fascists.

Don't be the oil that greases humanity's enslavement.
You'd probably see nothing wrong with being forced multiple experimental jabs every month whilst sitting in your allocated space in a town, unable to ever leave.

Fortunately most people are more informed and can see that dictatorship starts with small steps, disguised as being "good for you/the climate/any other reason that scares people into acceptance".

If you like your doctor… dentist… grocery store… you can keep them, as long as they are less than 15 minutes away!
Yippee!
Freedom of choice!

Lmao at who thinks this is practical. Some areas of big cities are called "food deserts". You know why? No grocery stores. Y? Not viable locations due to shoplifting but you can find your drug of choice within 15 minutes guaranteed. Funny how that works. I have arrived at the idea the biggest split in the US population is urban vs rural. It greatly determines outcomes in life depending on where you're born. Rural life demands skills of self-reliance but also inter-dependence at the same time. They are more likely to understand nature, how pollution affects the land and are able to enjoy natural spaces which is a necessary spiritual space for most people. Urban people on the other hand think food comes from grocery stores, are more competitive, aggressive and suspicious of others. Some people thrive in cities but I think most suffer from living in them. It is these differences in outlook and attitude that shape the political environment and if we look at history since the enlightenment it has been largely a transition from subsistence farming (and land ownership) to urban living, factory jobs and a removal from the natural cycles. We've gone from being 90% farmers to around 3% in a little over 2 centuries. The fallout from that change is perhaps just now reaching it's negative peak. I dont pretend to know how to fix these rifts but knowing the roots of the issues is a place to start.

Let me use a couple terms here…

Food desert.

Small shop domestic manufacturing.

One is quite common and prevents 15 Minute Cities. The other is not and would be pretty much mandatory for a 15 Minute City.

Anywhere with a supermarket near about or within walking distance ticks that box vNex92.

So just about any city in the civilised world could claim the same.

That framework has been the colour of the day since i was a lad in the 80s.

Far too many people seem to be taking the view that 15 minute cities are doomed to failure because the public generally don't want to walk or cycle everywhere and give up their cars etc.

To those who are imposing the 15 minute cities upon society, none of that matters. They don't care. Their sole goal is the 15 minute city. What the people want or how they think does not matter. If the 15 minute city affects the people negatively, that does not matter. The 15 minute city is all that matters.

And once the first 15 minute city is fully up and running, it will spread nationwide, city by city.

So if you dislike the idea of the 15 minute city, it's no good sitting back and assuming logic and reason will win the day. The people imposing these cities are operating to a very different set of rules. They believe they are working for a greater good, the end justifying the means etc.

The only way to have a chance of stopping them is to get organised and actively protest. Sitting back and assuming the logic of human nature will doom this project to collapse is a huge error of judgement.
