How sustainable, liveable and resilient housing can help us adapt to a changing future

Retrieved on:

Thursday, October 26, 2023

This includes our housing, which has a critical role to play in a sustainable, liveable, and resilient future.

Key Points:

This includes our housing, which has a critical role to play in a sustainable, liveable, and resilient future.
Sustainable housing provides significantly improved environmental performance compared to (most) current housing achieving zero, or near zero, carbon outcomes.
There are many examples of innovative new sustainable housing, and retrofits of existing housing.

Fossil-free housing

Other jurisdictions are banning the use of gas completely and requiring a shift to all-electric housing.
For example, the Victorian State Government recently banned the use of gas for all new housing and renovations that require a planning permit from 2024 onwards.
However, this approach needs to also be accompanied by a rapid expansion in grid capacities and decarbonization of the wider energy network.

Location, density, and size

Some jurisdictions are increasing the density of lots to accommodate more housing in existing neighbourhoods and where existing infrastructure and amenities already exists.
An example of upzoning is the Oregon’s House Bill 2001, which essentially eliminated single-family zoning in most cities.
From tiny houses to apartments and self-contained units, these dwellings range in size from approximately 300 to 1,000 square feet.

Co-living

Co-housing is a model of intentional community living, which includes self-contained units with shared facilities and amenities that deliver a range of wider social benefits.
In Germany, Baugruppen (German for building group) refers to a practice of self-initiated, community-oriented living where residents share the responsibility of the building.
Given the climate emergency and other critical issues with our housing, we need policymakers, the construction industry and households to demand more of our housing.
