With the "end" of the pandemic, the expected return to "normal" has been anything but. Responding to challenging conditions that include economic, environmental, supply chain, new code and upgraded sustainable design changes can be tough. But we are not going to whine about it: Let's figure out how we are going to take on the challenges and build a smarter future through innovative design concepts, new programming ideas and construction techniques. Our panel of different viewpoints in the industry will showcase creative ideas for more affordable housing solutions that can help cities meet their requirements, will share density alternatives to make more efficient use of expensive land, and peer into techniques to make homes more affordable to build.
