How to tell someone's feelings about urbanism in 1 easy step

  1. Ask them their opinion on Dutch Cycling infrastructure

Also probably check to see what their opinion on North American Car Dependence is and if they are normal about dense housing

You are right @autisticwreckingball the 15 minute city is a good starting point to see if someone is at least inclined towards urbanism because of how it is such a simple and basic good concept

@backsetx Then it's a great time for me to explain Dutch cycling infrastructure for you. Dutch cycling infrastructure is infrastructure where bikes are given priority and separation from cars is placed at a high importance. It is does by building separated lanes and bike streets. Here are some photos of it below

Adding on because I did not know this:

An image of a circular city. The text reads: "A 15-minute smoothie aims to provide everything you need within a short 15-minute walk or bike: jobs, schools, food, parks, community, medical, and more. Building on the principles of New Urbanism and popularized by Parisian Mayor Anne Hidalgo, this urban design concept may be a solution to create more sustainable, equitable, and healthier cities."ALT
