After long thinking that neighborhood markets, pubs, and cafes’ll get suburbanites back into the social realm, I also realize that those changes are oft-fought-against for the sake of privacy and quiet. Plus, they’re tough to get done anyway, with zoning and building. These are some of the reasons why they’re out in the suburbs, right?
But when Inhabitat realized this piece about living walls, I’m wondering about other methods to get people interacting with the folks in their neighborhood. Urban dwellers are much more akin to this, but will this lead to social progress elsewhere, too?
And I wonder…how much would my property value rise if my development was fenced in by something like this:
Green Living Technology + Urban Farming = Tasty Snacks
Then again, we might already be opposed.
