The very first episode of Induction, in which Tom is joined by @munecat to talk about the bizarre backlash to 15-minute cities and the protest against them she attended in Oxford.
Check out Münecat's encounter with 10-minute city conspiracists in her excellent collaboration with @feedthemachinedocs here: • 15 Minute Cities - The Weirdest Consp...

Why do I feel like I’m watching a librarian interview a rockstar?

A Tom Nicholas and Munecat collab about 15-minute-city hysteria is everything I need for my Good Friday evening.

People in the US argue against 15-minute cities because they refuse to let go of their precious highways...the said highways that get lots of traffic because the US is a car-oriented society that view transit as something for profit instead of something for the people. When I lived in Jersey City's The Heights, everything from the supermarket, church, swimming pool, Rite Aid, salon, pet shop, fast-food, good local pizza, and the bank were all on Central Ave, a five-minute walk away. And if we wanted to go to the mall, we could either take a private Spanish jitney, NJT bus, or walk to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail to get to Newport Centre. Or if we wanted to spend the day in NYC, we took a direct NJT bus to the PABT. Jersey City is an example of a transit city in North America done right, and that's not talking about the fact there's the PATH, pedestrianized downtown, and the nearby Hoboken Terminal for NJT rail.
The argument that a 15-minute city is a prison like certain people say is blatantly false when you can most definitely go to other places if you like. It's not like you're FORCED to remain! Meanwhile, people in American suburbia who don't own, can't afford, or can't physically or mentally drive a car feel trapped because of the society that car people created. Prioritizing improvements to transit and the national railway network would solve many problems.

Hey Tom, just some constructive criticism; when you upload your next podcast either to Spotify or YouTube, please ensure that you check the peak dbs & the LUFs value for the whole podcast.
I was listening while playing Rocket League and even with the game at 50% I could barely hear you.
This is something that you'll remember to do over time, but it's really important to do to ensure people aren't needing to change their volume between videos, then getting deafened when they go onto other content like I did.
Outside of this though from what I could hear it seemed like a very logical and sensible conversation.

I didn’t know about the conspiracy. When you told what it was, I laughed for a couple of minutes.
Being from The Netherlands, I lived my whole life with this concept. Every new neighborhood here was planned with obligatory shops and schools.
That’s why I have a Chinese restaurant, a Lidl, a bakery, a Turkish butcher just beside the building. The school building, including social work is opposite the street. There is a playground for children. There is also a little playground for little children a little walk away from my building.
On a 10 minute walk is the pharmacy and medical center, and a large supermarket with a post office inside.
A 10 minute bike, brings me to a shopping area with all kinds of shops.

It sounds like a bunch of people came to protest traffic calming by enjoying walking around in the streets. I wonder if the irony will ever strike them.

The comments about town planning and the anger around it are really interesting. I'm an architect and an urban planner. I think there is definitely more interest in it as a topic now, driven by the fact that video and digital media can make the topic much more assessable to explain. Equally people can tell that the city doesn't work for them, that the car rules all often.
On the flip side we are I think trying and talking about being much more radical than we have been for a long time. The 15 minute city will change how easy it is to live in the city, for the better. But people hear about radical change and are reminded of the radical change we did see post war. We pulled whole neighborhoods apart with little consultation and involvement of the people. Some of those moves have scared cities right up to today. I can completely see why people are sceptical about big changes now.

You two talking about fifteen minute cities felt like it only lasted fifteen minutes ❤

Fascinating insights from Badger

The hyper individualization is probably less due to American influence and more because neoliberalism in general. Did these people mostly grow up during the Thatcher era?

I grew up a 15 minute town. There was a weird protest in the town centre where they were protesting many conspiracies including being against 15 minute cities 😅. Like bruh why you protesting against the convince you already benefit from 🤣

I live in neighbourhood where we can walk or bike to everything we need in 15 minutes. And we live across the street from a subway station so we can get downtown in about 20 minutes. We don't own a car. It's a glorious way to live. We are the devil.

Pyongyang is a great example of a fifteen-minute city. A lot of citizens in Pyongyang and the DPRK in general don't own a car, so they heavily rely on transit and bike infrastructure to get around. Pyongyang has twelve trolleybus lines (56.6 km in length), four tram lines (53.5 km in length), a beautiful two-line metro system (22.5 km), green bike lanes have since been constructed on the major thoroughfares so cyclists don't have to go in the car lanes, and the Korean State Railway has multiple stations in the city that connect to the rest of the country, with the main Pyongyang station being the most famous as it's the one where the city's alarm clock (that plays Where Are You, Dear General? at 6 in the morning every day). It's a shame we're never brought up as a good transit city.

Annie Kelly’s reporting on the QAnon Anonymous podcast is a very good overview of the Oxford 15min city demo. Munecat covers quite a few of the key points, but I think Annie’s researched it a lot more.

Need some compression on your voice Mr. Nicholas. Too much dynamics makes it damn near impossible to get my headphones dialed.

Excited for this!

Anti-ideological dialogue task list:
1) never have these conversations online.
2) IRL, “that’s interesting, I hadn’t heard that. Which books or articles have you read about this and could you summarize them and tell me their shortcomings?”
