What will be the top trends in the future’s residential micro-units? In today’s fast-moving yet crunched for spacetimes one question that is being asked is:
“Are micro-units the future of city living?”
Well, with rising costs, high rentals and high maintenance costs involved in keeping a home, the challenges of modern times are many. So, one solution that experts say is smart is micro-apartments. They have begun to crop up in dense cities across the globe.
The idea is to go small
Micro apartments are quite common with so many of them cropping up across the world. Ideally, the unit is between 300-400 square feet, approximately the size of an average one-car garage.
The area may sound cramped but this is definitely the way forward, looking at the rising housing concerns.
Why Micro-Apartments?
Did you know a report by the United Nations states that “nearly 70 per cent of the world will live in cities by 2050. Data also shows that younger generations are leading this urban migration.”
To begin with, reimagining a future for the coming generations means reimagining the way we work and live. This future gives a chance for industries such as real estate, transport, infrastructure, waste management. The new trend sweeping the world is called “micro-units.”
