The 20-minute city also has a role in health outcomes. Do you see any city or agency in the US adopting the plan recently adopted in British Columbia whereby doctors are expected to prescribe a walk in the park for daily ailments, knowing full well that we have vastly different health systems in place. 16:44:07 From Max Moss to Hosts and panelists: Wonderful context Gil. Yes! 5 While focusing on the existing neighborhoods is the really hard and valuable work, it is also very important to focus on these exact same principles in greenfield development. It won’t just happen, it has to be intentionally designed, supported and built. Thank you for sharing your passion. 16:46:12 From Caryn Champine to Everyone: How about we rename PDT to "15 minute Neighborhood Services?!?" 16:46:39 From Julie Pignataro to Hosts and panelists: �� 17:01:45 From Max Moss to Hosts and panelists: �� that’s a bold idea that would absolutely reorient how we see things. 17:02:02 From Julie Pignataro to Hosts and panelists: Communism? 17:02:26 From Lindsay Ex (she, her) to Everyone: I thought it was renaming PDT to the 15 minute Neighborhood Services:-) 17:02:38 From Julie Pignataro to Hosts and panelists: �� 17:28:02 From City Manager's Office to Everyone: If you would like to participate in the dialogue today, please accept the invitation to be promoted to a panelist.
