What are the essential services you need in your local neighborhood?

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 actually live in this already. In 15 minutes I can get to: groceries, pharmacies, school, daycare, after-school club, library, postal services, train station, bus routes, mechanic, restaurants, public pool, hairdresser, hardware store, our general practitioner. The hospital is also within 15 minutes but that’s kind of random. Just a little outside that range is a shopping center.

Unfortunately i work further away but my husband walks to work.

Same here. I've been living here for a year, I feel so happy compared to previously.

Discussion about the path towards 15 minute cities. Post examples and discuss about how to make this a reality!

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.
