Infill housing โ new homes built in existing urban areas, near transit services, schools, businesses, shops, and other amenities โ is one of the most powerful climate solutions. Building in existing communities reduces climate pollution from home energy use and transportation, and also helps conserve natural carbon sinks on existing open lands. It also reduces exposure to climate risk. Find out why infill housing is one of the keys to driving climate impact at scale.
