Europe beats the US for walkable, livable cities, study shows

The headline is stupid but the actual [study](https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-024-00119-4) is cool:

> Here we tackle the feasibility and practicability of the 15-minute city model in many cities worldwide. We provide a worldwide quantification of how close cities are to the ideal of the 15-minute city. To this end, we measure the accessibility times to resources and services, and we reveal strong heterogeneity of accessibility within and across cities, with a pivotal role played by local population densities. We provide an online platform (https://whatif.sonycsl.it/15mincity/) to access and visualize accessibility scores for virtually all cities worldwide.

Simply shocking study result.
