SPACE UTILISATION
In the decades to come, population growth will continue to impact the way we live and the homes in which we live. More people are living in cities – and clambering for space - than ever before, says Jaco Botha, owner of Jacobotha Architects. “As we continue urbanising, and with worldwide population numbers expected to keep growing, the demand for denser, taller cities will likely lead to more compact living and shared services.”
He says: “As resources are limited, urban sprawl that attracts a much higher carbon footprint than densifying existing urban centers will likely come under increased scrutiny. Large houses on large plots will become less attainable, and it is likely that trends will expand around the concept of compact living, utility, and digital connectivity.”
