| The concept of the 15-minute city, which I thought when I first heard about it was some kind of conspiracy theory, but no, they're serious about this. | |
| The ideal is you can do everything you need to do in your life within a 15-minute walk. | |
| You can work, you can recreate, you can go to the restaurant, you can go to the grocery store, everything within 15 minutes. | |
| But what's really interesting is that happened organically in Hungary because after World War II, the housing stock in Hungary was wiped out by the war. | |
| So they came in and they built this high density in the cities and they moved the people in. | |
| And over time, it was too harsh on the human spirit. | |
| It came to be known as brutalism. | |
| It does something to you. | |
| It makes you lose confidence. | |
| Your world becomes much smaller. | |
| You have a low self-image. | |
| And now when you go to Hungary, the remnants of this high density is where only the very, very poor people live. | |
| And they're trying to move people back out into the villages and rebuild into the villages. |
