Stepping away from houses in favour of ‘green cities’ comprised of four-story-high apartments could be Ireland’s best solution to the housing crisis. That’s according to Dublin-based JFOC architects, who have presented the idea as an alternative suburban community plan. If apartments hold the promise of fostering community, can we pivot or are some dreams more stubborn than others?

Claire McManus, director of JFOC, joined Anton Savage on the show to discuss.
