That is good to know. I expect that one possible future has rising sea levels creating 'cities on demand' on higher ground as people wait to the last minute to adapt. With a capability inland of the level projected by Broad group it would be possible to create housing for over several million people per year.


Centrally conceived housing projects don't exactly have a glowing report card.


No, they do not.

That said, the capability to house millions of people in 'new' construction over a short period of time (less than a year) is a new capability that is only now becoming possible.

One of the things I try to avoid is assuming that problems that had either no solution or only bad solutions in the past, continue to have only bad solutions.
