Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to continue our discussion on urban planning. One key concept is the '15-minute city', where residents can access most daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes. This model aims to reduce car dependency and promote local businesses. However, a recent study in Melbourne found that while the model works well in dense inner suburbs, it faces challenges in outer areas where public transport is limited. The researchers suggested that for these suburbs, improving bus frequency and creating mixed-use zones near transport hubs would be more effective than simply adding more shops.
