Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss urban planning. One key concept is the '15-minute city', where residents can access most daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This idea was popularized by Professor Carlos Moreno in Paris. However, a recent study in Melbourne found that while the concept works well for grocery stores and parks, it often fails for healthcare facilities, especially specialized clinics. These are usually centralized in large hospitals, making them less accessible. The study suggests that planners should prioritize distributing these services more evenly across neighborhoods.

A. It works well for all types of services
B. It is less effective for specialized healthcare
