Transforming Urban Living
Urban housing
To accommodate the growing urban population, more affordable and adequate housing needs to be arranged.
In urban areas, people have to sacrifice the functions of their homes to get a place that ticks off either of the following: good location, size, or budget.
In the bustling dynamics of a city with a growing population, space is scarce. The u-turns in hopes of finding a parking lot, checking up with the restaurant you love to find a reservation at, and countless hours viewing apartments that fit your budget is not only exhausting but is also time-consuming. To ensure the quality of life in a competitive environment, every person has to be smart and considerate about the space they take up.
To get a home that incorporates all spheres of your life: social, work, and personal, the square feet of an apartment increases which could potentially put a strain on your budget.
