The Needs of Future Generations
• How can we know what their needs will be?– We can’t actually know – but we do know that
lasting quality sells, and over time represents an efficient use of resources
– Current trends are for • smaller homes,• more compact (“urban”) development, • less emphasis on ownership; shorter tenure & rentals
• But we’re still building a lot of sprawling residential development that sells

when people walked more• Support for local food production• Protection of natural and cultural resources• Re-use of existing structures
