Julia Simon: 本报道探讨了15分钟城市这一气候解决方案,通过在巴黎的实地考察,展现了其便利性和可行性,并分析了其在应对气候变化中的作用。报道还走访了克利夫兰,了解该城市在实施15分钟城市概念方面的经验。 在巴黎,记者通过亲身体验,展示了在15分钟内步行即可到达学校、书店、药店、面包店、超市、公园和医院等生活设施的便利性。这为全球城市应对气候变化提供了一种蓝图。 在克利夫兰,市长Justin Bibb介绍了该市在实施15分钟城市概念方面的努力,包括制定5分钟城市指数,以评估城市不同区域的步行便利性,并对城市基础设施进行改进。 报道还探讨了15分钟城市概念在全球范围内的推广,以及在不同城市面临的挑战。 主持人: 本报道关注的是15分钟城市这一新兴的城市规划理念及其引发的争议。该理念旨在通过缩短人们日常出行距离来减少碳排放,改善生活质量,但同时也面临着来自社区居民、学校以及阴谋论者的阻力。 Carlo Ratti: 作为15分钟城市概念的提出者,Ratti认为该理念的核心在于提升城市生活便利性,减少对汽车的依赖,从而降低碳排放。他强调,15分钟这个数字并非绝对,重要的是要确保人们能够便捷地到达生活中的重要场所。 Justin Bibb: 克利夫兰市长Bibb表示,他希望将15分钟城市的概念应用于克利夫兰,以改善城市生活质量,减少碳排放。他指出,克利夫兰需要对城市基础设施进行改进,以更好地支持15分钟城市理念的实施。 Duncan Enright: 在英国牛津,Enright在推广公共交通的过程中遭遇了阴谋论的阻挠,一些人认为15分钟城市是全球精英控制民众行动自由的阴谋。这导致了对Enright及其同事的死亡威胁。 Jonathan Levine: Levine教授指出,单一家庭住宅分区是阻碍15分钟城市建设的重要因素之一,其历史根源与种族隔离政策有关,至今仍对种族隔离和社会公平造成影响。 Michael Rio: Rio在圣何塞从事城市规划工作,他致力于在圣何塞建设更多混合用途的社区,以促进城市的可持续发展。他认为,改变单一家庭住宅分区是实现15分钟城市目标的关键。

It aims to reduce car dependency and its associated pollution, offering various co-benefits like improved health and reduced noise pollution. The idea originated with urbanist Carlos Moreno.

15-minute cities are an urban planning idea growing in popularity. The idea is that you can get to the key places in your life - think work, education, food, recreation - in a 15-minute walk, bike or transit ride. Now mayors from Paris to Cleveland are looking to use them to reduce planet-heating car pollution and improve quality of life.But they face obstacles - from NIMBYs, to public schools, to death threats for urban planners and politicians. Reporter Julia Simon talks about her months-long reporting on a climate solution that has become a lightning rod for conspiracy theories. This reporting is a part of NPR's climate week.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
