In this episode I look at the way we build today. Developments in building techniques have enabled cities to grow rapidly. Villages are emptying and urban centres are becoming denser. But quantity and speed are not always synonymous with quality inside homes. Today, architecture has become a consumer product. This is having an impact on the image of our towns and cities, which are becoming increasingly standardised. These changes in practice, which differ from pre-industrial construction, raise questions about the origins of these transformations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
