Coliving Insights Edition N°7
The built environment is responsible for an overwhelming amount of carbon emissions and our cities, suburbs and rural villages are packed with vacant properties waiting to fill the gap in the housing crisis and revitalise the centres in which they dwell. So there is no doubt that the way we design, renovate and build our cities – and the homes within them – needs to be completely reconsidered to respond these global health, climate, economic and housing crises. Coliving Insights N°7, Spatial Design & Architecture for Coliving, therefore explores the world’s most innovative shared living designs and how they are setting the stage for new ways to live, work and play with one another for decades to come.
