Oli Wainwright: The anti-15 minute city movement is a node within the web of conspiracy theories. Oxfordshire County Council plans to lock residents into one of six zones. You'll only be allowed to leave through electronic gates if the council decides that you're worthy of freedom.

Madeleine Finlay speaks to the Guardian’s architecture and design critic, Oliver Wainwright, about why the relatively obscure concept of the 15-minute city has become a magnet for conspiracy theories in recent weeks. And hears from Dr Richard Dunning about how the theory can be implemented in a way that’s fair to all residents. Help support our independent journalism at
