Is It More Sustainable to Live in the City or the Countryside?
There is a lot of noise surrounding sustainability, sustainable living, and what it truly takes to do well by our planet. What we do in our lifetimes ensures the next generations of humans inherit a healthy earth and not a dead one generated by our combined decisions.
I was serendipidously invited to this conversation by fellow author David Martín-Romero who left a comment in one of my articles:
Honestly, more than make the cities “greener”, which of of course is necessary, I believe that the idea of returning to the country and living closely to nature is even more necessary. In fact, I did it myself, and it is the best decision I’ve ever made. So I am very interested in the development of architecture and the habitability of cities, but especially small cities, towns, villages… Anyway, thanks again. Cheers!
