Except it's not really conservative. What often gets called "conservatism" is very much just a variation of some form of liberalism. (Republicans in the US aren't conservative either, not in any meaningful sense.) Conservatism favors community life, not hyper-individualist atomism. New Urbanism and similar architectural movements[0] are heavily conservative in substance. This is actually an area where I suspect some of the Left and some of the Right can cooperate, and should, because there is enough agreement, at least where the need for sane urban planning is concerned. There is nothing conservative about sprawl and suburbs. "15 minute city" is just a synonym for neighborhood, effectively. If you can't get most daily things done within a 15 min radius, then guess what? You don't have a neighborhood. You have an internment camp. Hyper-individualism has no need for neighborhoods or polities, because it conceives of human beings as atomized consumers. [0] https://cdnc.heyzine.com/flip-book/pdf/44640c2c786250e3a426d... |
