Reinventing Modular Housing as Green


Good article in the New York Times today about modular housing. This week at the "Rethinking Housing" presentation in Minneapolis, we saw a sort of high-level, academic approach to this. But on street level, in the real world of commerce, infill with modular/manufactured would be a powerful innovation for new, attractive, sustainable, affordable housing stock in the Northside. It could also be deployed quickly and with great production efficiency using local resources. I'm talking industry/jobs, visible impact on troubled blocks, and overall neighborhood branding.
