75: How to make room and enable sufficient living? (guest: Make Room)

Welcome to the 75th episode of Urbcast, in which we discuss: How to Make Room and enable sufficient living?

Why should we talk about it?

Because Denmark has one of the highest amounts of floor space per person on the planet. It is forecasted that 113 million square meters of new development will be built in Denmark by 2050. But do we need that much newly built space, resources extracted, and emissions released?

Why is it worth listening to?

Because Matthew, Iddo and Andre bring together a perfect mix of education and experience within architecture, sustainability and business development. Using the innovative methodology and technological insights, they reinterpret how people live in their spaces, what their needs, wants, and motivations are.
