Housing may be a human right, but affordable housing—and perhaps even moreso sustainable affordable housing—has become increasingly difficult for the average person to access. This is true both in terms of the private residence as well as public housing, as house prices and rent are currently at some of the highest recorded rates nationwide.
Now more than ever it is important for architects, engineers, developers, and urban planners to design and provide housing that is sustainable in every way—environmentally, economically, socially, and culturally.
