VOYAGE TO THE NEW WORLD

摘要

If you're involved in building environment-friendly homes, the chances are you have been to, are planning to go to or are currently in Scandinavia. It's a new pilgrimage, a rite of passage, almost: take a flight to Stockholm or Malmo and find out how the Swedes are building high-quality, well-designed eco-homes, while we're still struggling with the basics. Last year, Malmoe received 3,000 study visits. There's no denying the success of a number of developments in these regions, particularly Hammarby Sjostad in Stockholm, an urban regeneration project that in a few years has become a thriving, prosperous community where power for homes is generated from the residents' waste.
