I am reminded that several years ago I was taken by a group of 10 year-olds—primary schoolchildren—to see round their housing estate and I was shown their homes in a series of tower blocks, which were in the process of demolition. I reflected on what it does for a child’s self-esteem if their home is condemned as unworthy of sustainability. With that in mind, we must design our homes for the future in a better way—homes of which we can all be proud and which will last a long while.
