US cities are faced with the joint challenge of our climate crisis and the lack of housing that is affordable and healthy. Our housing stock contributes significantly to the changing climate, with residential buildings accounting for 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. US housing is not only unhealthy for the planet, it is putting the physical and financial health of residents at risk. Our housing system means that a renter working 40 hours a week and earning minimum wage cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment in any US county. In Gray to Green Communities, green affordable housing expert Dana Bourland argues that we need to move away from a gray housing model to a green model, which considers the health and well-being of residents, their communities, and the planet. She demonstrates that we do not have to choose between protecting our planet and providing housing affordable to all. Bourland draws from her experience leading the Green Communities Program at Enterprise Community Partners, a national community development intermediary. Her work resulted in the first standard for green affordable housing which was designed to deliver measurable health, economic, and environmental benefits. The book opens with the potential of green affordable housing, followed by the problems that it is helping to solve, challenges in the approach that need to be overcome, and recommendations for the future of green affordable housing. Gray to Green Communities brings together the stories of those who benefit from living in green affordable housing and examples of Green Communities’ developments from across the country. Bourland posits that over the next decade we can deliver on the human right to housing while reaching a level of carbon emissions reductions agreed upon by scientists and demanded by youth. Gray to Green Communities will empower and inspire anyone interested in the future of housing and our planet.

A PLANNING FRAMEWORK FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL There are five critical problems that we must deal with as soon as possible: 1. We must rapidly produce renewable and safe nuclear reactor energy to reduce and eliminate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; 2. We need to create 47 million sustainable jobs to replace those that will be eliminated by automation; 3. We need to build massive amounts of affordable workforce housing; 4. We need to eliminate gas-driven cars and replace them with renewable energy cars and mass transit; 5. We must replace shareholder capitalism with worker-owned cooperatives which pay a livelihood wage, and supply a comfortable retirement and health care, in exchange for a lifetime of work. All of these projects can be accomplished by using a New Town planning framework. We need to build New Towns for the 21st Century across the United States. By using this planning framework, we can use all of the advanced knowledge of city planners, architects, engineers and farmers. We will be able to use our “best practices” and new technologies, including recycling and regenerative agriculture and forestry to create carbon dioxide sinks. The billionaires of the world have a rich opportunity to advance the forward days of humankind with an urgent and uniting work effort.

Books on green building theories, principles and strategies applicable to life cycles of all kinds of buildings and building types are already widely available. However, those specifically on greening affordable housing that guide various housing stakeholders at different life cycles are still very limited. This book intends to fill this gap. Integrating green building enables stakeholders to address the environmental component that has not traditionally been seen as an integral part of affordable housing development. The book presents theories and principles with practical methods, strategies and processes not only to make affordable housing green but also to support economic stability and social equity.

Global population growth, exposure to climate-driven risks, continuous ongoing economic crises, persistent levels of poverty, migration phenomena, exponential increase in the use of digital technology and consequent digital divide, and the urgent demand for more equal spaces are amongst the major drivers of change within the housing sector. This book seeks to envision some of the future housing scenarios, outlining a series of possible transformations that will affect the global housing models in the coming years. The essays in the book are not intended to provide predictions on housing, but rather to try to grasp how social attitudes, economic values, and technologies employed are changing. The issues addressed range from exploring the potential of green and digital strategies both in regenerating existing building heritage and in new construction within developing countries to addressing the humanitarian challenges of climate change and mitigating social inequality.

This Green Paper sets out the Government's strategy for housing based on three key objectives: more homes to meet growing demand; better designed and greener homes, linked to good schools, transport and healthcare; and more affordable homes to buy or rent. Proposals include: i) a new housing target of building two million homes by 2016 and three million homes by 2020 to meet growing demand and address affordability issues; ii) a £8 billion programme for affordable housing in 2008-11, a £3 billion increase compared to the previous three years, with at least 70,000 more affordable homes a year and 45,000 new social homes a year by 2010-11; and iii) an invitation process for local authorities and developers to propose five new eco-town schemes, with the entire community designed to be able to reach zero carbon standards, and each scheme could provide between 5,000 and 20,000 new homes. These proposals are to be delivered through a number of measures including: increased infrastructure support; reviews of regional plans; a new Housing and Planning Delivery Grant to incentivise councils to deliver high levels of housing and new guidance to help councils identify available land for housing; more use of public sector land and disused land to maximise development on brownfield sites; better use of existing buildings by bringing long-term empty homes back into use; and the creation of the new homes agency to provide expertise for local government in negotiating, brokering and partnering to underpin delivery.
