Sustainable Village: A Model for Eco-Friendly Living

The video explores a sustainable development on the outskirts of suburban London, designed by architect Bill Dunster. It features energy-efficient buildings, a unique power station using solar cells and wood chips, and innovative waste reduction techniques. The development includes charging sites for electric vehicles and a car club. Future plans involve expanding these principles to larger projects in Portugal and East London.
