The boons of small space living
According to the UN, nearly 70 percent of people will be living in cities by 2050. As the world’s cities continue to grow exponentially, they become more at risk of overcrowding, resulting in cities with ever-expanding boundaries and greater damage to our environment.
As construction increases, so does its carbon footprint. With more people seeking life in the city, so how do we accommodate that change while keeping our carbon footprint at an acceptable level?
One response is the growing movement for small footprint living, which many say goes hand in hand with affordability and sustainability.
Today’s guest is Colin Chee, founder of Never Too Small, a media company dedicated to small footprint design and living, with an incredibly popular YouTube channel which currently boasts over 2m subscribers (and counting).
