Understanding the power of home to transform societies in the face of Climate Emergency
"The proximity of single-family home, to local stores, places of work, job centre, healthcare facilities or the shopping district seem to have significant impact.
Economic and job patterns including working from home have provided clues on both the efficiency of an economy working on minimum energy consumption in city centres, whilst activating the economic values and credentials for the home. Equally, the footprint to a multi-family home in a walkable urban neighbourhood seem to offer a serious place to start thinking about effective methods to combat climate change.
Yet, most approaches and investment into climate change focus to large extend on advanced technology of electrical and carbon neutral cars and devices, but little focus is made on community power and the centrality of home to societal shifts in economy, mobility, infrastructure and livelihoods."
