The City of Edmonton is introducing “15-minute city” zoning, associated with World Economic Forum (WEF) proposals to limit private citizens’ movements to relatively small districts, supposedly in order to tackle climate change.
The city in Alberta, Canada, plans to introduce 15 new districts, with zoning rules allowing high-density housing mixed with commercial and other non-residential premises. The supposed intent of the plan is to provide more accommodation in Edmonton, which is experiencing rapid population growth due to mass migration, and to provide residents with more bicycle paths and other amenities so they do not have to travel more than 15 minutes to meet their needs.
