    I found this USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/10/fact-check-false-claim-15-minute-cities-lock-down-residents/11593351002/

    From a snippet:

    Moreno said the posts are inaccurate and misconstrue the nature of the urban planning framework.

    “The 15-minute city is the opposite of lockdown,” Moreno said. “The 15-minute city is an open and connected city, which balances the differences in access to services.”

    The framework does not limit residents’ ability to leave their neighborhoods or access services in other areas of the city.

    “All citizens are free to go where they want," Moreno said. "There are no constraints.”

      Thank you for this! I figured it was the usual mix of 1) a term based in reality, 2) a dash of sci-fi / dystopian tale, and 3) a whole ton of crazy.
