Smart and sustainable technologies could be crucial to turning the 15-minute city from concept into reality, with major implications for infrastructure planning.
A new meta-analysis has found that smart and sustainable mobility solutions significantly enhance the viability of the 15-minute city model – an urban design approach where residents can access key services within a short walk or ride from home.
The study, which synthesises global research on urban accessibility, mobility and well-being, confirms the infrastructure sector has a vital role to play in implementing this increasingly popular planning framework.
According to the study, integrating intelligent transport systems, electric vehicles, shared mobility and micromobility can bridge accessibility gaps and reduce reliance on private cars – particularly in sprawling or car-centric urban environments.
These technologies also support broader sustainability goals, improving air quality, reducing emissions, and promoting healthier lifestyles.
The research distinguishes between the classic 15-minute city model – focused on local, walkable access – and an extended version that includes seamless multimodal links to broader metropolitan services.
This shift has important implications for infrastructure investment, including the need to better connect active travel networks with public transport nodes and to deploy digital solutions like Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms.
Equity also emerged as a key theme.
Smart mobility tools can help reduce spatial and social disparities, the study found, but only if supported by policies that ensure affordability and access for all.
Without careful planning, rising demand for compact, well-serviced neighbourhoods could drive up housing costs and displace vulnerable communities.
The findings suggest urban planners, transport agencies and local councils should embrace smart technologies not as optional extras, but as core components of sustainable, inclusive city design.
Unsuspecting Innocent Bystander:
“Wow, I suppose you’re pro transhumanism too CN.”
Most probably, yes. They are, after all, very pro Trump (who is very pro-vax, pro war mongering and pro genocide), so it shouldn’t be too surprising if they’d also endorse other oppressive and antihuman, UN/WEF NWO slavery systems such as transhumanism.
Wow, I suppose you’re pro transhumanism too CN.
The mind boggles and in this case the boggles do mind!
The Man Who Could Shake Up Australian Politics – Dr. Andy Schmulow Interview

Let’s get REAL there is no such thing as a “SMART CITY?” What is proposed is a scheme to line the pockets of the greedy and deprive the dopey of a decent life. Australia is a continent with more mistakes in human habitation than really can be documented. Why any educated human would propose this insane method of controlling humanity when there is a such a desperate need to provide SANE and HEALTHY human settlements in this relatively “NEW LAND.”
Isn’t there enough stinking slums across this filthy world without involving Australia in some lame brained hopeless human habitation scheme.
These suggestions make me want to stop the car and throw up on the side of the road in disgust that we allow these depraved cretons to even exist.
REALLY, making a new country into the DUMB CAPITAL of a DEPRAVED WORLD.
The ‘Queen Of Heaven’ Worshiped By The Catholic Church Comes From Pagan Babylon And Is Not The Biblical Mary
“If anyone would have asked me who the “Queen of Heaven” was, I could answer them immediately and accurately. The “Queen of Heaven” was the same Virgin Mary that I had been taught to to pray to and to seek salvation from all my life”.
https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/the-queen-of-heaven-of-the-catholic-church-has-its-roots-in-pagan-idoloatry/
“Columbia” is a name for “Goddess of Creation, War, and Destruction” better known as the goddess of death and pain. She is derived from the imagery of Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, and Queen of Babylon.
The statue on top of the Capitol building called the Statue of Freedom is actually Persephone, meaning “She who Destroys the Light”. She is the queen of the underworld (AKA the Catholic MARY). She is crowned with pentacles (pentagrams–stars with five points). When someone stands on something, it is usually an indication of ownership. Therefore, she owns the facility she stands upon. Although the dome on top of the Capitol building was not finished until 1868, the final installation of this statue on top of the dome took place on December 2, 1863. The original Capitol building, without the dome, was completed in 1826.
Columbia and Persephone are seen as other statues around Washington D.C. area.
“……….When it came time to pick a name for the new capital that was being moved from Charleston to its present site, Senator John Lewis Gervais, whom the present day street is named after, in 1786 said, “in this town we should find refuge under the wings of COLUMBIA.” It is from this speech that people rallied to name it Columbia, beating out the name Washington in an 11-7 vote in the state senate.
It is clear from Gerais’ quote that Columbia, South Carolina was named for the goddess Columbia and not Christopher Columbus.

The Collapse of U.S. Tourism (and Why Americans Are Fleeing)

Well folks,
You DO know they NEVER back down, they only ever DOUBLE DOWN, right?
Have a chew on THIS one…
[ rumble.com/v6sfsjt-pope-francis-final-words-there-is-no-god-in-the-afterlife.html ]
Of COURSE a Satanist won’t find Heaven when they die, folks. But they WILL get to meet THEIR “god”, who goes by the name of Lucifer. And Eternity is reputedto be quite a long time, especially when you spend it immersed in Hellfire tormented by Demons.
Caltrop said – “… The USA will have a crash, and the world will follow. What do we need to do to prepare for that?”
Klaus has “stepped down”, and here is his replacement. What do we need to do to prepare for that?
[ i.postimg.cc/XjtsPDQ8/6807976e09c1e6807976e09c1f.jpg ]
We’re being dead serious, folks, that is indeed Klaus Schwab’s replacement, the new head of the World Economic Forum.
And you thought it couldn’t get any worse?
Eight more years, folks, another eight years of this ridiculous Machiavellian genocidal Luciferian Globalist BS. It would be hilarious if only it were confined to a Dr. Evil movie, but it’s not, it’s torturing and killing us all right here, right now in real life.
The USA will have a crash, and the world will follow. What do we need to do to prepare for that?

Build a gallows, put up a sign, ‘we have set up a free ride for those in favour of SMART cities…’
Someone once described Gaza as a smart city designed to fail.
Hard to fault that logic.
Hey folks,
Now that Klaus Schwab has stepped aside, backed away, “retired” from the head position at the World Economic Forum, everything is better and we’ve WON, right? Hooray!
Think again, folks, the nightmare is just beginning…
[ https://www.bitchute.com/video/NpoCSf2olGs ]
That’s right, folks, brace yourselves and clench those butt cheeks, because we’ve got YEARS more of this rolling genocidal Globalist shit to rain down on our heads. And they’ll do it to us because they CAN, folks, because we LET them do it.
Eight more years, if we want to be precise. That’s about how much longer all those lamp posts will be waiting to service the teeming hordes of emphatically worthy clients, and we all finally get to do the Can-Can on their unmarked graves.
aapkoning,
Yeah thanks for the response aapkoning, It’s truly worrying.
Building 7,
911, watch bravo7
Port Arthur,
Covid,
SV40,
Most people will die ignorant,
30% to 70% will die from Covid/ SV40,
The strongest will remain, what is the plan then?
Jase, I think many will Like your comments! But, all action is on the computer keyboard and swiping on the mobile… Soon the mobile will be surgically attached to the ears and now NO hands needed. So will the free hands be used for real action?
acv19ff39b09e86, Yes you are right. No Freedom, No Cash, = 100% Government control/security. The final, give up your Freedom and stay in your Matrix… “And you will be Happy…” If the citizens realise how close we are? – Would they Revolt?
As with the Digital ID Bill, the Smart Cities schemozzle is an unlawful social engineering program for which there is no Head of Power in thew Constitution.
One would think that all the noggins posting here would have thought that one out by now, but it seems not.
I sent an email about it to all the Senators, telling them that they are supposed to be the guardians of the Constitution, and that the Bill should never have even made it into the Lower House, if the Members there had adhered to their Constitutional duties.
I even got two replies from Michaelia Cash, which was a real surprise.
She blamed Labor, but, as a Senator, should have jumped up and down a fair bit and given them curry about it.
But the silence there would have been deafening, I would imagine.
In any event, the video I made about it:

Time to go and actually rattle the chains of your local candidates and raise THEIR awareness about their Parliamentary shortcomings?
I think so.
I hate that agenda 21 word sustainability. All a lie. All a lie that it’s for our health and ease of living. What, never take yourself anywhere again but share some ev with whoever. And since we don’t have much electricity compared to China, who uses our coal, where is all the charging going to come from. Where are all the dumped ev’s going to go at the end of their life. It’s all a big con made up in ga ga land !
WHAT THEY DON’T EXPOSE IS THAT THESE CITIES WILL PROBABLY HAVE A WALL AROUND IT AND YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT JAIL.
The new WEF Head Peter Brabeck-Letmathe has let the cat out of the Bag.
Water is the new focus, most fresh river water in Australia has allocations and farmers pay for water, both Lib/Nat , Lab has been instrumental in selling the water to unknown buyers that charge our farmers for water to grow produce.
In Victoria 20 years ago the government put free meaters on private irrigation water with the ” It’s a university study”.
The WEF want to push the dam walls down, and cut all water and limit household water around 50lts per person per day.
Let’s put that in perspective, a 10min shower uses around 100lts. Unless you have a restricted shower head. They are coming for garden watering, car washing, banning hoses on urban houses.
It’s on people..
What you going to do?
Write a email?
Watch TV?
Go to the football?
We need people in Australia with guts and determination.
As the interest bill on government borrowings from overseas Banks goes up, so also must Taxation. Any tax reduction promised now is only for the short term because our Bankrupt governments only asset is YOU.
How absolutely, totally and completely insane!! This is a whole lot of communist nonsense….how can we stop this from proceeding? It’s so distressing.
Comprehensive summary of the headline article – “… BS BS BS…”
Just BTW, the people of China have the world’s most efficient, productive and successful EV industry, and have brand new entry-level EVs with ~200 km single charge range, top speed 100 kph, chargeable by plugging into a domestic power point, for just $5,000. Yes, folks, you read that right, just $5,000.
But China has the inexpensive and abundant baseload power to support this technology. China has well over 1,000 operational coal-fired power plants and has been commissioning two new coal-fired power plants per week for YEARS now.
Where is China getting all that coal from, folks? China actually mines most of the coal that it uses from its own mines, but imports a lot too. Here’s who’s exporting coal to China, folks…
[ https://www.statista.com/statistics/544848/distribution-of-thermal-coal-exporting-countries-worldwide/ ]
Note that Australia is BY FAR the world’s biggest coal exporter.
Yet Australia has less than two dozen domestic coal-fired power plants which it is Hell-bent on shutting down completely. And Australia has the highest power prices in the Western world.
The “Smart City” is BS, folks, it’s a Globalist trap. A trap made just for you. To kill you.
