The 15-minute city quantified using human mobility data | Nature Human Behaviour

Using mobility data, the authors quantify usage patterns of so-called ‘15-minute cities’ and uncover a worrying trade-off: increased local usage correlates with higher experienced segregation for low-income residents.
