It’s exciting to see that the government could cut up to a year of development time with these blueprints. I’m curious what they’ll come up with that reflects the best of what modern BIM, digital twin, offsite manufacturing, CLT, and modular construction technologies can do.
Hopefully there will be a variety of to choose from for different kinds of environments and tastes. Personally I’d like to see some 6 storey apartments complexes, designed to accommodate car free lifestyles.
Me too. I was under the impression, though, that a minimum amount of space for parking is a requirement of all residentially zoned land, regardless of intended use. Zoning laws might need changing if I'm remembering that right.
This is still only one piece of the puzzle though. To restore affordability it would make sense to prioritize building and converting more existing stock to non-market housing so there’s competitive pressure on the remaining/existing landlords to keep rent low.
Vienna has done a wonderful job to show the world what’s possible after a century of continuous improvements with non market housing.
