City of Seattle se abre al #coliving 🧑🧒 Seattle ha eliminado las restricciones de uso de suelo para poder fomentar los colivings buscando que tanto jóvenes 👱 como personas mayores 👵 puedan convivir, ya que los primeros buscan vivir en barrios populares y los jubilados que buscan una comunidad. Según legisladores del Estado de Washington y de la ciudad han indicado que con esta nueva normativa tratan de promocionar el #coliving como una forma de traer viviendas más asequibles a Seattle. Mientras que las unidades de coliving suelen alquilarse por entre 850$ y 950$ mes, un apartamento tipo estudio en Seattle cuesta unos 1.500$ mes según Apartments.com. Y es que nuevos modelos de #living pueden aportar soluciones para el acceso a la vivienda teniendo en cuenta que el hogar medio va en disminución. Hoy está en 2,5 personas por hogar y las proyecciones muestran que en los próximos años se pasará a ser 2,3. De hecho, según las proyecciones de hogares del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), los hogares de 1 o 2 personas se espera que suban en los próximos años, mientras que descienden los de 3 y 4 personas. Y hablo de C O L I V I N G, no de esos modelos de viviendas divididas en habitaciones que, con pretensiones, hay quien llama coliving. 🤨 COWORD https://lnkd.in/dExxJ3qZ

Mass hysteria is brewing in Metropolitan Sydney over the proposed rezoning around various railway stations. Premier Minns is struggling to sell his vision for quality mid-rise apartments due to past developers who have mostly yet to respect historical overlays. However, a real challenge in Sydney needs to be addressed: over 2 million baby boomers are stranded in the suburbs with limited or no downsizing options. Many of these Baby boomer families are on fixed incomes and have debt-free homes that are too large and costly to maintain. But there is hope for blending new with heritage. Over the last 50 years, the City of Adelaide and North Adelaide as "Placemaker" have proven that new can complement the historical architecture and respect historical overlays; all my past major urban projects over the decades have achieved above-average capital growth and are tightly held. Take Brougham Place in North Adelaide, for example. This highly desirable address has a wide range of multimillion-dollar mansions with 15-20 rooms, all with historical status. The 25 luxury terrace dwellings at "BROUGHAM" were designed to fit between historic mansions and tapered down to the scale of historic cottages, with 30% set aside for affordability. Remember the real housing crisis impacting Sydney's "Baby Boomers" population with the lack of downsizing options to stay in the suburbs they love where there is a sense of community. Premier Minns should take a page from my "Placemaking" Adelaide book and prioritize quality residential grade mid-rise housing that respects the city's history. #Sydney #BabyBoomers #downsizing #HistoricalOverlays

Gentrificación vs. Revitalización urbana. Una interesante aproximación a las nuevas dinámicas que atraviesan nuestras ciudades

Soluciones baratas para adaptar la ciudad a un verano infernal 🔥 Las zonas verdes son los oasis de las ciudades. Refrescan el aire, contribuyen a reducir la temperatura y generan otros muchos beneficios. Pero..., ¿qué se puede hacer si no hay espacio, dinero, o voluntad política? Hay más opciones. Una de ellas es pintar el suelo. Sí, convertirlo en una especie de espejo en el que rebote el calor del sol, una práctica tradicional que también se materializa, por ejemplo, en el encalado de las fachadas de las casas. Se trata, en resumen, de aprovechar las virtudes del efecto albedo. En Pacoima, Los Ángeles, la transformación es palpable. Este barrio, un tanto depauperado, residencia de la clase trabajadora latina, rodeado de industrias e infraestructuras y con una escasa cobertura arbórea, siempre ha sido un horno urbano. Hoy, gracias a la pintura solar reflectante, poco a poco, se está convirtiendo en un ejemplo de resiliencia, renovación e imaginación. #PintaElFuturo #RefrescaLaCiudad #SummerInTheCity
