Petition the Prime Minister to start vertical living projects that make more efficient use of urban land
Hello,
I have set up a petition on 10 Downing Street's e-Petitions website and would like you all to sign it.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Vertical-Living
The petition asks the government to build up rather than out when it comes to building the 3 million extra homes it requires. Our urban areas are very inefficient at present with houses under utilised. Sub-urban sprawl is swallowing up valuable land that will be needed for local food, bio-fuel crops and wind farms. With purpose built vertical living you can comfortably house more people per acre of land.
This is not a return to 1960s crumbling concrete tower blocks. This is the construction of well built, energy efficient towers. There will be green spaces between towers. Efficient transport systems.
Having spent some time living in Madrid I can vouch for vertical living. Most urban living in Spain is vertical with little urban sprawl. Cities are more compact but with no feeling of being overcrowded.
Please support this petition and tell your family and friends to do likewise.
Thank you for your support,
James Butler.
