How can we house 11 billion people without destroying the planet?
In short: As the global population surges toward 11 billion by 2100, architect Vishaan Chakrabarti explores how new construction can combat climate change. This video examines a sustainable housing model designed to sit perfectly between single-family homes and massive skyscrapers.
Architect Vishaan Chakrabarti addresses the looming challenge of housing a global population projected by the UN to exceed 11 billion by the year 2100. He argues that the future of construction must shift from contributing to climate change to actively fighting it.
To achieve this, Chakrabarti proposes a 'Goldilocks' solution: a housing density that occupies the sweet spot between low-density single-family homes and high-density skyscrapers.
