TED: A vision of sustainable housing for all of humanity | Vishaan Chakrabarti

The video discusses the challenge of housing an estimated 11 billion people by 2100, emphasizing the need for sustainable, carbon-negative solutions. Current technologies like skyscrapers and net-zero homes have limitations. The proposed 'Goldilocks framework' offers a middle ground with two to three-story housing, using local materials and solar energy, integrated into communities to support mass transit and reduce environmental impact. This model could house the global population efficiently, leaving space for nature and agriculture, highlighting the need for visionary solutions.
