Urban means "related to cities." It may refer to:
A home is a dwelling-place used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for an individual, family, household or several families in a tribe. It is often a house, apartment, or other building, or alternatively a mobile home, houseboat, yurt or any other portable shelter. Homes typically provide areas and facilities for sleeping, preparing food, eating and hygiene. Larger groups may live in a nursing home, children's home, convent or any similar institution. A homestead also includes agricultural land and facilities for domesticated animals. Where more secure dwellings are not available, people may live in the informal and sometimes illegal shacks found in slums and shanty towns. More generally, "home" may be considered to be a geographic area, such as a town, village, suburb, city, or country.
Transitory accommodation in a treatment facility for a few weeks is not normally considered permanent enough to replace a more stable location as 'home'. In 2005, 100 million people worldwide were estimated to be homeless.

Berkeley's backyard tiny house adds income & affordable housing
Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometimes known as carriage, coach, or laneway houses. These small homes are typically around 700-1000 square feet in size, although the size sometimes has to be calculated as a percentage of the size of the yard. Adding new homes in potentially underused backyard spaces is a sustainable way to provide more housing options in walkable urban neighbourhoods where people don't need to use cars to get around for every errand. ADUs can also help reduce urban sprawl by reducing the need for cities to grow outwards, which increases commuting distances and therefore increases transportation pollution. In Vancouver, laneway houses have been l...

Sheila Cassani began farming her rental home while a college student. She started with a small vegetable patch, but it soon spread to keeping chickens and bees and planting produce on nearly every available patch of the small yard not dedicated to the poultry. Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa). They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead ...

A young couple with another baby on the way needed more space, so designer Jodie Rosen helped renovate their home with a new addition. See how she created a cohesive look in the open-concept main floor with white walls, modern finishes and colorful accessories. A graphic, modern stairway welcomes guests into the home. Jodie kept all the walls white so the furniture, rugs and decor stand out. The modern kitchen features a waterfall island and a large peninsula that divides it from the living room. A pantry and panelled fridge on either side of the range adds symmetry, while a black frame around the area provides contrast. The sunken back family room is designed to feel more intimate and laid-back without compromising style. A brick veneer wall adds texture and is accented by floating shelv...

In this video update, we dig deeper into the Homes for Victorians housing affordability strategy, and talk about the broader economic impacts we can expect to play out in the Victorian housing market over the next 3-5 years. The key message is that investors are central to keeping Victoria’s housing market affordable. Investors provide a steady stream of rental capacity and ensure the development sector can get projects up off-the-ground and deliver stock to investors, owner-occupiers and renters. Discouraging investors; as the Homes for Victorians strategy does; is not a good move for housing affordability. - KEY POINTS - There are three main unintended consequences that UDIA sees with the Homes for Victorians strategy, each associated with skewing the supply/demand balance and theref...

Karen Chapple is a city planning professor so she knows all about the benefits of backyard cottages as urban infill and for adding density to sprawling neighborhoods, but when she took out a loan to build her own "accessory dwelling unit" (AKA secondary dwelling unit, granny flat, in-law unit), she did it for what she calls selfish reasons. The place is small- the footprint is just 250 square feet (the 450 square feet total includes the sleeping loft and porch)-, but her first tenants were a family with a 2-year-old son. Both Karen Kerr and her partner are firefighters which means their salaries don't go far in the high rent communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. So downsizing to a tiny home just made sense.

Calling it “a social network with an address”, Los Angeles entrepreneur Elvina Beck created PodShare, a coliving experiment where dozens of “Podestrians”- travelers, mobile workers or new arrivals to the city- share a communal space filled with sleeping pods or “bunk beds for adults”. Beck, who built the first PodShare in 2012 with her father, wanted to respond to her demographic’s rejection of widespread home ownership and embrace of the sharing economy. She set out to transform the American bunk bed, creating a more open (and co-ed) version of the Japanese capsule hotels. For $40 to $50 per night (or discounted weekly and monthly prices), Podestrians can choose a bottom or top sleeping pod (equipped with a lamp and a small flatscreen television with Internet access) along with all the...

AMERICA'S RENTAL HOUSING A decade of unprecedented growth in the rental housing market may be coming to an end, according to our 2017 America’s Rental Housing report. Fewer new renter households are being formed, rental vacancy rates have risen, and rent increases have slowed. At the same time, renter demographics are changing and nearly 21 million households continue to pay more than 30 percent of their income for rent.

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, architects Mary Clare DeReuil & Carlos Tardio were without work, but determined to continue creating buildings. “We were scouring the city all the time looking for cheap land, land that no one wanted to deal with because it was problematic,” explains DeReuil. They finally picked up property near downtown Atlanta that was “problematic” and “unbelievably cheap” because there was no driveway access. Over the course of 4 years, the two architects (Tardio Architecture) worked 10 hour days to create an experimental glass dream home using materials easily accessible in industrialized settings: steel beams, cast concrete, 2 by 6 milled lumber and lots of recycled glass. “We scrapped this thing together with personal loans, brother and sister loans, loan shar...
On the desert mesa of New Mexico, miles from the nearest town of Taos (pop. 5,700), Star-Wars-like shelters rise from the earth, half-buried and covered in adobe. Called “Earthships” - brainchild of architect Mike Reynolds in the 1970s- they’re nearly completely self-sufficient homes: no electrical grid, no water lines, no sewer. The Greater World Earthship Community, about 70 passive solar homes built from earth and trash on 633 acres, had a rough start; they were shut down as an illegal subdivision in 1997 and it took them 7 years to come to compliance. Though today, the county fully cooperates with Reynolds and his Earthship Biotecture operation to turn trash (tires, cans, glass bottles) into shelters and has even given them 2 acres to experiment with housing in anyway they like (they ...

Out of control housing costs for both ownership and rental aren't just a Greater Vancouver phenomenon. Many BC and Canadian communities are experiencing a worsening, wickedly complex housing crisis that has been decades in the making. Shelter insecurity has seeped into the middle and even upper-middle class, and across all age and cultural demographics. The wealth and social gap between renters and owners is also widening. High rents, renovictions and low vacancies make many tenants insecure. Government policies often favour homeowners, offering less support for renters who can account for half of urban residents, or more. Speakers for the evening included: Kishone Tony Roy, Scot Hein, David Podmore, Dena Kae Beno, Garth Davis, Karen Sawatzky, Kris Archie and Jenelle Davies.

When Brad Lancaster and his brother bought their home in downtown Tucson, the streetscape was a dusty place, devoid of trees or any vegetation. In 1996 Lancaster and his neighbors started an annual tree planting project, which up until now has resulted in over 1,400 native food-bearing trees being planted (usually with water-harvesting earthworks) in the neighborhood. In 2004, Lancaster augmented the street tree planting by using a 14-inch, gas powered circular saw to cut away part of his curb to divert street runoff into his street-side tree basins. When the walkway in front of his home sprouted with life- like mesquite and palo verde trees- many of his neighbors wanted to cut their curbs as well. Lancaster approached the city to convince them to make his water-harvesting technique legal...

The main house is understood to have been built in Edwardian times with many of the original features retained. The current layout of the house provides 15 bedrooms (original layout was 6 bedrooms). The house has brick built elevations under a tiled roof. The barn building is located to the rear, or north, of the main house and comprises a wooden built two storey building under a slate roof and is attached to the former coach house. The building was most recently used as residential accommodation (8 bedrooms). The coach house and other attached buildings comprise two dwellings (1 bed cottage and 3 bed first floor flat), office, consulting rooms and games room. The dwellings have there own entrances. The remaining buildings are a mixture of brick, wood and metal clad structures.The main ho...
Brad “Darby” Kittel came to Texas living on a converted school bus. He had planned to write the Great American Novel, but he ended up buying up boarded-up homes and fixing them up using materials he salvaged from other old houses, barns and buildings. After a couple decades refining his salvage mining techniques, he began using his collection to build “new” tiny portable homes from salvage. The prefab homes, measuring 64 square feet and up, are built from 99% salvaged materials. The other 1% is for things like electrical parts, plumbing, nails, screws, and some insulation materials. Since he builds with natural materials (mostly wood) or materials that have already off-gassed, he calls his homes “organic” (he makes clear he doesn’t use plastics, formaldehyde, sheetrock, VOC paints, late...
