Discussion about the path towards 15 minute cities. Post examples and discuss about how to make this a reality!

From Wikipedia: The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.

What is essential for you to have nearby? I can think of groceries, fresh produce, haircut/salon, a couple restaurants, schools, etc. Those are the obvious ones. What else are you looking for, such as a flower shop?

To me that'd be a hardware store, a pharmacy, some kind of a public park/garden, a library and shops for groceries/postal services, and access to basic health care. Luckily I already live in such a neighbourhood; as this applies to most european towns (I grew up in a small town and now I'm living at one with 70k inhabitants).
