Evidence (2023-10-06): By now, you might already know what a 15-minute city is – "The ’15-minute city’ is an approach to urban design that aims to improve quality of life by creating cities where everything a resident needs can be reached within 15 minutes by foot, bike or public transit," we’ve put it simply in the past. [...] The 15-minute city concept, with its promise of more sustainable and convenient urban living, has caught the attention of several cities worldwide. [...] However, the road towards fully realising the 15-minute city model is not without hurdles, with opposition from certain quarters as witnessed in cities such as Oxford.

Evidence (2021-08-19): Natalie Bicknell shares news of a new report by moveBuddha, an online company that shares information and resources for moving, that ranks U.S. cities by their achievement of the "15-minute city" ideal that has gained traction in urbanism circles in recent years.

Evidence (2023-04-10): Claim: "15-minute cities in China - each neighborhood zone is separated by a fence, with an entrance gate being guarded. If you want to get in or out of your zone, you need permission, and a FACE SCAN," is a claim made by a TikTok user(archived version of the original post that was deleted here). [...] The video suggests — as other social media posts do — that the 15-minute city concept has already been implemented in a strict way in Chinese cities. [...] Regarding the 15-minute city model, Shenzhen authorities do plan to implement ideas from this urban planning concept. Shenzhen local government announced it had set up so-called "15-minute domestic service circles." But we could find no hints that fences or gates are part of the implementation.

Evidence (2024-08-05): Many cities are designed in a car-centric, sprawling way, rather than at people-friendly scales. The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept that intends to change this, with the idea that people should be able to access daily services and essentials within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. [...] The 15-minute city is an intervention that is intended to increase walkability. However, a distinguishing point that is critical to note is that walkability is not the same as accessibility. [...] The 15-minute city idea is a new name for an old concept, but one that nonetheless does lead to improved health, quality of life, stronger communities, local economy improvements, and emissions reductions. There are also a number of challenges in the implementation of a 15-minute city, as well as unintended side effects, in some cases.

Evidence (2024-09-17): A concept made famous by Parisian professor Carlos Moreno, the idea of the 15-minute city has gained increasing traction in recent years as the answer to developing healthy and sustainable cities and addressing inequalities often entrenched by urban sprawl. Now, a new analysis published in Nature Cities today revealed which global cities have succeeded in making the '15-minute city' a reality. [...] Few cities globally truly rank as 15-minute cities based on the new analysis, which was made using data from open-source packages GeoPandas and OpenStreetMap.

Evidence (2022-08-09): The 15-minute city isn’t about the minutes spent moving The 15-minute city should not be seen as a blueprint for development, but rather an aspiration. Similar concepts have been packaged and popularized for decades, from garden cities to new urbanism, all offering planners of the time principles for creating the "optimal city." Each has faced challenges accounting for diversity and conflict, and fall short of addressing social and economic issues through their focus solely on the design of space. The Proximity City will face a similar downfall if taken at face value and applied superficially; pasting a cookie cutter copy over the top of places manifested by years of path dependency and development history. Instead, as practitioners it’s crucial we view the Proximity City as simply a framework to uncover and explore the elements and amenities of a city, neighborhood, or street, that enriches our lives, and aim to create a relationship among these elements.

Evidence (2024-09-16): The concept of the 15-minute city gained traction during the Covid pandemic, when lockdowns put more focus on local neighbourhoods. [...] "The 15-minute city is often presented as a utopia -- it's not," Bruno said. [...] Confusing the two ideas, online groups including vaccine and climate sceptics falsely claimed that 15-minute cities were part of a secret plot to restrict the movement of citizens.
Claim: purports to show 15-minute city speed gates that have been installed in Vancouver (Photos, 2023-04-18)
Evidence (2024-10-07): Implementing the 15-minute city concept requires a multi-disciplinary approach, involving transportation planning, urban design, and policymaking, to create well-designed public spaces, pedestrian-friendly streets, and mixed-use development. This change in lifestyle may include remote working which reduces daily commuting and is supported by the recent widespread availability of information and communications technology. The concept has been described as a "return to a local way of life".[6] [...] In early 2023, far-right conspiracy theories emerged that described 15-minute cities as instruments of government repression, claiming that they were a pretext to introduce restrictions on travel by car.[9][10][11][12] In fact, the '15-minute city' proposals do not involve any restrictions on travel by car – unrelated measures[a] introduced to reduce traffic in some cities have been somehow confused with '15-minute cities'. [...] Societal effects [edit]The 15-minute city, with its emphasis on walkability and accessibility, has been put forward as a way to better serve groups of people that have historically been left out of planning, such as women, children, people with disabilities, people with lived experience of mental illness,[5] and the elderly.[2]

Evidence (2021-01-08): Such temporary infrastructures are just an example of the many that could be implemented in the pursuit of the "15-Minute City" concept [ 34]. The success of this concept, as it has been shown in the city of Paris under the leadership of Mayor Anne Hidalgo, has been hailed as a potent urban planning concept that will lead to an economic boost, while bringing about social cohesion and interaction and help create sustainable ecosystems in cities, more so after the experiences of COVID-19 and associated containment measures. While some of the features of the "15-Minute City" concept had been temporarily adopted in different cities after the impacts of COVID-19, its adoption in long-term planning would result in a higher quality of life as proximity to basic services would help in saving time wasted in traffic, thus promoting sustainable mobility [ 35]. This will aid in efforts to reduce emissions as envisioned in the Paris agreement and promote higher cultural outputs, amongst others. For instance, by re-thinking the transportation system to create more biking and walkable streets, the challenges of private car ownership will be somehow addressed as they will be reduced as more people embrace biking culture.

Evidence (2021-09-12): Nineteen of the 22 living former presidential chiefs of staff, some of the biggest personalities in Washington over the past five decades, arrived to support Ronald Alan Klain, a man whose shoulders would soon bear the weight of Washington's most unforgiving job. Klain, the Indiana native and veteran of all three branches of government and K Street, had been training for the job of President Joe Biden's chief of staff since he was a child. [...] Klain's presidential commission — an oversized official piece of paper signed by Biden making him an officer and chief of staff — begins: "Ronald Alan Klain of Indiana." [...] Klain's approach to the job focuses more on "staff" than "chief," those who work with him say. "Because he has grown up as a staff person, he is a staffer's chief of staff," said Elizabeth Alexander, who worked with Klain when she was Biden's press secretary during his vice presidency and is now Jill Biden's communications director.

Evidence (2023-01-21): White House chief of staff Ron Klain, a veteran Democratic hand in Washington, is expected to depart from his role in the coming weeks, according to The New York Times. Klain — who helped guide President Joe Biden's administration from its earliest days through a midterm election where the party was largely spared the electoral thrashing that many political observers had predicted — has been a source of stability throughout the president's first two years in the Oval Office. [...] Klain worked as President Barack Obama's White House Ebola response coordinator and also previously served as chief of staff to former vice president Al Gore.

Evidence (2023-01-27): President Joe Biden announced White House chief of staff Ron Klain will step down next week and will be replaced by Jeff Zients, the former Obama administration official who ran Biden’s Covid-19 response operation.

[...] Klain’s departure comes at a difficult time for Biden, with a special counsel investigating his handling of classified information after his time as vice president and with the administration and the president’s family facing renewed scrutiny by the GOP-controlled US House of Representatives. An official familiar with Klain’s plans said his decision to step down is not related to the investigation underway about classified documents found at Biden’s private office and Delaware residence, with the decision being made before the special counsel was announced.

Evidence (2023-01-21): Ron Klain, President Biden’s chief of staff, plans to step down in the coming weeks after playing a central role in steering the administration through its first two years, according to two people familiar with his plans, depriving the president of his top adviser as he enters a challenging new phase of his presidency.

Biden never seriously considered other candidates, and he used Klain’s selection to send an emphatic early message that Washington would be returning to a reliance on experience and order after the unorthodoxy and chaos of the Donald Trump years. In the Biden White House, Klain rose to become one of the most powerful chiefs of staff in decades, known for a fierce work ethic and for sending a constant stream of tweets, a habit that did not always endear him to fellow Democrats.

Evidence (2017-10-23): Many Americans have debated whether the country would be better off with Pence as President. From a purely partisan viewpoint, Harold Ickes, a longtime Democratic operative, argues that—putting aside the fear that Trump might start a nuclear war—"Democrats should hope Trump stays in office," because he makes a better foil, and because Pence might work more effectively with Congress and be more successful at advancing the far right’s agenda. Newt Gingrich predicts that Pence will probably get a chance to do so. "I think he’s the most likely Republican nominee in 2024," he said. Ron Klain, who was chief of staff to the former Vice-President Joe Biden, is skeptical of this, given Trump’s accumulating baggage. "There is no success for Mike Pence unless Trump works—he cannot run far enough or fast enough to not get hit by the falling tree," Klain said. "But he may think he can." Evidently, the next chapter is on Pence’s mind.
