CelloMom On Cars"The city’s six new “traffic filters” will limit daytime car travel between Oxford’s neighborhoods, which stretch from the medieval center to its ring road like slices of a pizza."
Delft (the Netherlands) did this a few decades ago in its smaller city core, and instantly reduced horrific congestion, terrible air pollution, and danger on the streets. It's better for businesses.
(Why should the Dutch be the only ones who enjoy safer cleaner streets?)
NEW: The 15-Minute City concept explained well as a vision supporting an “ecosystem” of local things we need, close-by and easily accessible for all, created by engaging local people and customizing strategies to local realities.
