Facing limited prospects for new water sources, Austin officials are advancing a broad strategy centered on water reuse, conservation and storage to meet the city’s long-term needs. At a recent #infrastructure summit hosted by the Austin Chamber of Commerce, water planners described an array of initiatives designed to extend the capacity of Austin’s existing supply as the population continues to grow. #Texas #water #reclamation #planning #storage #reuse #conservation https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2025/04/infrastructure-panelists-ponder-tactics-for-stretching-austins-existing-water-supply/

@ckent @nickzoic @jessta That 3–5 storey range is a good happy medium. Especially if there's shops or cafés on the ground floor.
Having looked at apartments lately, it's amazing the difference that bigger room sizes, a wider living room, and a larger balcony can make.
I think there's also an underserved need for more 3 to 4 bedroom apartments.
And in terms of housing affordability, 4 bedrooms might make housing more affordable for people.
How?
Because many people — especially younger people — share an apartment.
So even if the apartment costs $1000 per week, if it's shared between four housemates, that works out to just $250 each per week.

Continued thread
Yesterday the government published the draft National Planning Framework. The section on Galway City is full of sensible plans for compact urban development and sustainable transport.
The Galway City Ring Road looks like an anomaly stuck in there near the end, almost like it was added in at the insistence of politicians rather than something the planners view as essential.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but before we bother building more trains, we need to build more mixed-use apartment buildings in town and city centers. No point in trains if there aren't concentrations of populations to use them. #urbanism #architecture #planning #transit #transportation
So THIS just happened...

When GDP growth is the aim, anything can be justified. The blinkered #OBR cheers on the absolutely unnecessary destruction of green spaces.

A suburb of Phoenix is not where one might expect to see a residential development based on emancipation from the dominion of the car.
Reducing car dependency in Arizona matters beyond the borders of the state. All too often those working for more human and environmentally sound planning and transit policies in the USA are met with a simplistic and thought stopping cry of "It might work in Europe, but our geography makes it impossible!"

Dire statements from the #OBR head this morning.
Said #housebuilding stagnation is due to #planning restrictions and we should build on #GreenBelt.
No mention of the 1 million plus unbuilt homes for which developers have permission.
Swallowed #DeveloperLobby propaganda.
