Amid pressure to create more housing, Boston uses mass timber to build new housing on top of public buildings in the latest “housing-over-library project”, which will unite the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday,<\/a> Wood Central reported that Canada is turning to 3D Printing, Mass Timber and a wartime housing policy to kick-start mid-rise accommodation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, Boston is looking to utilise its 25-plus libraries better to build “up” and reduce pressure on the city’s housing crisis – including a new 11-storey building in the West End, the first in Boston to use cross-laminated timber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boston is already home to one of North America’s tighest property markets. However, like wealthy, economically vibrant<\/a> metro areas across the US and Canada, its high costs and inadequate supply result from poor public policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
