How would you design the city of the future?
Flexible appropriate living spaces is what I would design in my future city.
I would move away from the concept of home ownership to a more appropriate model where mobility and flexibility are the drivers.
Why do we have people retiring with empty nests in five bedroom houses?
Why do we have so many people owning and investing in multiple houses?
Why do we have so many people who cannot afford houses?
People that want to move but can’t?
The city of my future imagination would be flexible. If you have family visiting for a few days you use a bigger space. If you need to “work from home” you have a space for the days/hours you need.
Efficient, effective, flexible with low commitment. Affordable, appropriate inclusive, diverse, and if you need to move, very easy. Sustainable and low impact.
That’s my vision of the future – but I’ll be on my yacht and my house will be empty unless my kids are using it!
