Today, 50% of the population lives in cities and by 2040, 75% of the population globally will live in cities.In the next 20 years, 3 billion people will be added to this planet, and that means 40 % more housing globally. Today as we are speaking 1 billion people lives in slum, while 100 million people are homeless. Global data on CO2 emissions shows that – 47% of CO2 comes from construction, 33% transportation and 19 % Industry. So, Housing Globally and Climate change is the Elephant in the room. How to solve it? We have inherited a degenerative economic system: take, make, use and lose. This is the wrong way to go. We need to move to regenerative economic system: take, make, use, and reuse. We at InstaBuilt believe that wood is the future – the only renewable building material.
