We also like how he talked about the #embeddedEnergy in the existing #housingStock and #officeSpace.
He points to how industry is encouraged to #waste due to govts giving #taxBreaks and other #perks for #newBuilds, rather than encouraging #developers to #refurbish or #renovate existing #heritage and #realEstate.
It has a terrible impact on our #carbonFootprint - but is great for #GDP!
If you're concerned with #sustainability you need to know the effects of #overdevelopment.
