By: Contributor(s): Series: Building ; 269(8324) 19 March 2004, 50-52(3)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Examines extracts from the CABE/RIBA "Housing futures 2024", part of the Building Futures Programme to facilitate discussion on the future of housing. One scenario discussed is that of rapid climate change for the UK within the next decade which may force a drastic cut in the energy consumption of new housing. Also more social development of housing may occur including mutual, co-operative and schemes led by social landlords as well as affordable housing. As a result, commercial developers may suffer a relative decline. Another short extract discusses the different scenarios that could take place with the arrival of ever greater technological advances and this stresses the need for this area to be integrated into broader strategies to bring about desired societal outcomes.
