The 15-minute city concept has sparked outrage, often framed by conspiracy theories, highlighting a profound misunderstanding of its goal: creating more pleasant neighborhoods instead of control agendas.
Critics have overlooked that the five-minute city has already been realized in Nordhavn, Copenhagen. It embodies human-scaled, pedestrian-friendly design in a car-reduced environment.
Nordhavn's success is attributed to limiting car access. Lars Riemann emphasizes that the design encourages walking, cycling, and socializing, promoting community engagement and sustainability.
This urban landscape represents a juxtaposition of tranquility and activity, where the lack of noise isn't due to fewer people, but rather, fewer cars, enhancing quality of life.
