Regarded by some as part of an ongoing 'war on the car,' the concept can be polarizing, and opinions vary across Canada.
The term “15-minute city” is making the rounds across social media platforms in Canada, bringing along the kind of polarized debate that is usually reserved for the latter stages of electoral contests.
When Research Co. and Glacier Media asked Canadians about the “15-minute city,” the results point to a public that is mostly oblivious. In our survey, only 33 per cent of the country’s residents say they had heard of the concept. Awareness is highest among Canadians aged 18 to 34 but drops for their counterparts aged 35 to 54 and aged 55 and over .
There is little difference in the perceptions of Canadians of all ages and genders. Opposition to the “15-minute city” reaches 21 per cent in Alberta, drops slightly in both Ontario and Quebec and falls to single digits in British Columbia . More than half of Canadians indeed believe that the mental health and well-being of residents would be enhanced if their community adopted the “15-minute city” concept. Majorities of Canadians who commute on weekdays by taking public transit or driving a vehicle agree on this purported benefit.
