An email blast confirmed that Edmonton will move on to next steps for its proposed 15-minute communities.
“District plans are key in bringing The City Plan’s ‘Community of Communities’ vision to life by laying the foundation for 15-minute communities,” the email explained.

“This vision is for new and current residents to enjoy more housing, recreation, education and employment opportunities in all of Edmonton’s districts and to have more travel options within and across districts,” reads the email.

Moreno says that’s because it not only improves quality of life, but 15-minute cities can also reduce cars’ planet-warming greenhouse gases. Transportation accounts for about 20% of global energy-related carbon dioxide pollution, with cars making up almost 10%, according to the International Energy Agency.
The cult Elites can keep you pesky plebes from moving around much, reducing your carbon footprint. Not theirs, of course
The ‘15-Minute City’ concept can shape a net-zero urban future
