From March 2022:
"... the “15-minute city” concept—which implies having all necessary amenities within a short walk, bike ride, or public transit trip from one’s home—has demonstrated stickiness not just as an idea, but as a powerful tool for action – from Paris to Seoul, from Bogotá to Houston."

From October 2022:
"Drivers could be fined for driving into Canterbury, with a new environmentally friendly traffic scheme splitting the city into "neighbourhoods", despite anger from residents."

"This plan complements the existing National Plan for Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) , which seeks to introduce
Clean Air Zones (CAZ) into a number of cities across the UK where levels of NO2 are shown to be in breach of the EU Limit Value
for compliance with the Ambient Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC). Canterbury is not included in this list, but the horizon of this plan
mirrors, broadly, the overall timescales to which the Clean Air Zone City Framework will be working."
