Adaptive Use of Vacant Urban Land

Chicago has many underutilized or vacant lots. Building container home communities will revitalize neighborhoods without contributing to urban sprawl.

This adaptive use of space encourages denser, more sustainable urban development, which helps reduce car dependency, lower carbon emissions, and protect natural areas from being developed.

Building smaller, denser communities brings in more tax dollars to fund desperately needed local services like road maintenance, education, law enforcement, etc.  

In addition, combining government grants and funding for these smaller homes make them attainable, too. Building with cost & health in mind turns these vacant lots into a support system for the neighborhood.

This reduces per capita CO2 emissions from transportation by 1-2 tons annually per resident.
