First I've heard of the 15-minute city concept. The problems are, as you note, obvious. Apart from the incompatibility with private ownership of property, there's the inevitable "cookie-cutter" outcome, as the central planners aren't apt to put any effort into creating diverse "zones." Just a bunch of cookies, or if you prefer, silos, with the expectation that each stand unto itself yet mirror all the others.
Anyone remember the public housing projects in New York City?

Ain't no liberty in the silos.
