Kent Larson presents "Brilliant designs to fit more people in every city" a video that shows us how we have occupied the territory and the need now arises to develop new housing areas or considering the little space disposal. This has led to the development of new strategies that allow us to enjoy the same privileges in a smaller space.

Kent Larson shows an innovative idea given the enormous increase in world population. The need for housing is necessary, which leads us to build houses and reduce green spaces. However, we also need them.

More and more, there is a greater demand and need for housing like in China and Japan with a land increasingly limited, which actually leads to reduced housing, leading to the development new techniques to design and to build, more and more in a small space where you find everything you need to live.

Housing and spaces that can transform without changing places, by moving walls, furniture hiding as needed ... housing moves but we don't.

However, we must also ask to what extent are affordable because in these times, can we allow these homes and the cost of maintenance in terms of motors, sensors ...?

In any case, I agree that we can not continue on the actual way and there is a need to find an alternative, and this is a great start.
