Why The Urban Village Project?
Our cities are facing some of the biggest challenges to date—from rapid urbanisation to ageing populations, from a climate emergency to increasing feelings of loneliness and anxiety in our urban environments. On top of that, we experience rising and unpredictable housing prices in cities all around the world and the prospects are bleak. We need to almost double our cities in just a few decades to house a rising urban population—which creates a strong link between how we choose to evolve our urban areas and the fate of humanity. Therefore, we need to rethink our built environment, starting now.
Il nostro approccio
Un nuovo modo di vivere insieme
This modern home in Cannon Beach, Oregon boasts stunning ocean views and easy access to the beach. In addition to its organic fusion of glass, slab stone and steel, the design also offers a refreshing connection between architecture and nature.
Il nostro approccio
Un nuovo modo di vivere insieme
As humans, we long for meaningful relationships with those around us. That’s why the Urban Village Project envisions cross-generational shared living communities in the hearts of our cities. It combines private living with shared spaces that enable people to be part of a vibrant community and enjoy a social lifestyle where they live. After all, the quality of our relationships often defines how happy we are—and shared living is found to boost both health and happiness.
