Due to the economic recession and high rates of foreclosures, recovery from the recession must include a triple bottom line- people, planet, and profit. The home of 2020 will be closer to work, school, and stores. It will provide you with information and energy savings. Growth will occur in mid-sized cities, such as Charlotte, Austin, and Portland instead of super cities such as Houston. According to Dr. Ross, we must utilize the idea of megaregions in order to be economically viable instead of trying to stand alone and compete.
