It came as news to me that wanting a world in which everything is a short walk or bike ride from home is woke. Yes, apparently there are conspiracy theorists who regard the concept of the 15-minute city as some kind of sinister dystopian plot on the part of the Loony Left and environmentalists that will curtail freedom and increase surveillance.
In a piece for the Guardian, Oliver Wainwright has quite rightly poured scorn on this rabid nonsense, while nevertheless acknowledging that, though the concept seems sound in principle, there are "lots of good reasons to interrogate [its] cute logic".
