At least 1.2 billion people worldwide live in substandard housing, often lacking basic amenities such as clean water or a decent toilet. With urban populations in Africa and Asia increasing exponentially, that figure is set to reach three billion by 2030. In addition to this, the built environment accounts for near 40% of global carbon emissions. It’s clear that solutions to the housing crisis must be both urgent and sustainable.
Reall’s Climate Lead, Tom Woodward, features in Econscia’s Shifted Podcast, showcasing how Reall and our partners are demonstrating viable models for climate-smart affordable housing for the bottom 40% of income earners, including pioneering the $10K house.
