#43: Primal City (Part 2) - Housing for Homo Sapiens
Manage episode 324445437 series 2904422
It turns out what's good for us is also good for the planet.
How can we design housing for human beings that aligns with our evolution? In this episode I talk about how Co-Housing and Eco-Village concepts could be a proxy for hunter gatherer tribes by creating small, cooperative communities within urban settings. This way of living has huge benefits for our wellbeing and can also be an effective way of minimising energy and resource use. A Win-Win for people and the environment.
