Yes, but this assumes a relatively sparse population so that there is more of a countryside outside the perimeter. Then it would be less of a problem, already semi-villages. I don't know about you but I live almost in the middle of a solid city for 25-40 miles in every direction. If I needed warehouses it would be great, but if I needed any medical services or cultural divertissements or government offices or a supermarket, I'd be out of luck.
True, my 'frame of reference' is the description of the 15-minute plan in Oxford. Having visited Oxford, it seems that it would turn the city 'inside out' (as I described). In larger cities (like yours), it would simply 'create cell blocks'.
I still argue it will radically alter property values.

Especially when they start rebuilding to try and create this 15 minute layout... I've lived in this same neighborhood since 1970, two different houses. It used to be on the edge of town. Now it's the middle. So I've seen a lot of property revolution.
Yes what you’re referring to is known as Sprawl Repair. It’s a great idea
