From Wikipedia: The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city. This approach aims to reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve wellbeing and quality of life for city dwellers.

What is essential for you to have nearby? I can think of groceries, fresh produce, haircut/salon, a couple restaurants, schools, etc. Those are the obvious ones. What else are you looking for, such as a flower shop?

I would wish for a public swimming pool / public indoor swimming pool closer by, but I have everything else mentioned in this thread already in my neighborhood, so that's the one thing I have not in reach of 15 minutes, but need 45 minutes with public transport and as long by car (which I don't have).
