Densifying Suburbia
This is an interesting TED lecture on suburbia. One of the biggest impacts on reducing carbon consumption will be achieved by densifying suburbia. While some politicians seem determined to unlock the precious Green Belt land for property development we instead must be looking at ways of densifying existing low density developments. Higher densities reduce car use and make servicing the public realm more sustainable.
Our Shell house project is just one alternative solution for densifying suburbia.
