You should report on the Barking roding riverside. Its construction madness around here with 4 separate insane developments within spitting distance of each other.

A really big issue I experience living in Germany: in many places there are construction works going on in cities, towns and villages. Either it's a project of a single or two houses, or it's an entire neighbourhood, but hardly any of those construction projects are thinking BIG. I just moved into a brandnew apartment building ... a 6 unit building. Such buildings cover the need for only very few people or families, not the masses of people. There are multi-unit apartment buildings around ... old ones, in the poorer areas of the towns and cities. Of course there's also the extreme like modern apartment towers for the top few percent of earners, again rather a niche market than a solution for a great number of people. There aren't really many projects combining 1) a high number of units, 2) high quality or at least modern style and 3) being affordable for average earners. Modern apartment blocks or apartment towers can offer a normal level of high quality living environment and they are seen in so many countries, but not that much in Germany. Apartment blocks always have a sense of low quality, poor, dangerous etc here which is pretty sad IMO. Honestly, often you can determine how poor a neighborhood is by counting how many floors the buildings have... So they'll continue to build relatively small apartment buildings with only a few units each, blending in with older single family houses in the neighborhood. I don't really like that trend
Everybody's talking about the quality, but nobody about the content... These oneoff projects won't solve the problém. We need massive public developments like there were in 1960s to 1980s
We need to have the NIMBY’s voices stripped away. That’s the main thing stopping any meaningful development, at least here in Southern California. They shouldn’t be able to dictate housing development
While those projects look great in so many ways. I wish they had comercial areas too (on the ground floor maybe) since it makes a place way more liveable. Urban codes could segregate a city taking a toll on security, transportation costs and pollution due to daily commuting to jobs/shops. The documentary was made to perfection, as professional as always. Great job B1M!
Another fantastic video, a great overview of the issues and so well-produced. This channel deserves still more exposure and wider attention. Keep up the good work, B1M!
@Ion You are putting your words as if they were mine. Did I ever state mimicking White Greed is ok for non Whites? People in general are not good hearted, especially those not heavily dedicated to the Christian Church. Society follows what is popular, and allows the dominant culture to form the type of life they will lead. Not me, I defy what is popular and accepted by the masses. Every human on earth deserves an affordable, comfortable home to live, even the homeless deserve tiny homes.
@@Keepskatin if you keep whining you never stop being a useless and poor person. Success is achieved by hard work, not by claiming the world is unfair; it's not.
@@AlejandroGonzalez-rw9kt claiming that success is only achievable through hard work is laughable. What are you going to say to those hard working people who a lot of times work multiple jobs and are still barely making ends meet? They will never be able to own a home if things keep happening like the way they are. The system is rigged and even if you work your hardest does not guarantee you success.
Lets not forget one of the most important demand side factors driving up costs. Housing has become increasingly leveraged, allowing people to make larger purchases relative to their income but also leads to speculative growth. More of an economics than development issue but important to understand in the housing sector.
Im stunned, thanks B1M guys for sharing such an amazing content. Even i tempted to say that is a mirror over the developed and emerging economies housing problem.
Not everyone is fascinated by new constructions and modern buildings. Personally I find them ugly and I am more amazed and interested by historical, traditional or suburban architecture.
@@ligametis Fascination with construction aside, the videos are just... well made. It's obvious that a great deal of time and research is put into each video, something that is trending towards rare throughout UA-cam.
@@destrytosh this video is better them most from this channel. To be fair many of his videos are quite repetitive, use stock footage, and most of the information about projects come from promotional material that you can find yourself in many different articles.
@R RQ Why is it that everyone on the internet always jumps to being rude? Whatever happened to civil discussion?... I like their videos because they are interesting and expose me to new and interesting things that I otherwise would have never been exposed to. They may take footage from other sites and videos and compile it into their own video, but what else do you expect them to do? Do you really think that a (relatively) small UA-cam channel could afford to just buy some expensive film and camera equipment, travel around the world, and collect their own footage of all of these places? That would be rather idiotic to assume such a thing. Anyway, I hope you eventually learn to treat people on the internet as actual people. Have a good life my dude!
This is a good start. But we have to think about getting the homeless off the streets first. We need to build something like a homeless camp site. This site well have housing , medical center along with police/security, and a training center, so that people can get back on their feet. People should not be allowed to live on the streets and in the city parks for this is a epidemic health hazards for all big cities. I am ready to invest my time and money to get this started. Thank you The B1M for sharing.
If you don't mind me presenting a very well known concern on this extremely important topic, it would be towards the dream of the single family home with the quintessential backyard / front yard and how many people in the world want that type of living. There is only so much land on this planet that there's no way in hell it could ever accomodate the desire of building standalone houses for every person on Earth that wants one. Urban densification is going to be sorely needed. What would you guys say to those who still desire the dream of having a single family home. Should they give it up entirely? Since it is not an "efficient" use of land per se.
My fear is condos and apartments everywhere that are unaffordable for low income earners. Here in Los Angeles even the middle class struggle to afford housing, let alone the poor.
It is expensive in all cities of the world even in african countries like uganda and madagascar where i went for few days and the rental housing market is booming like anything in cities with rents as high as it is in western countries..you need to go in suburbs or small town to afford a house in today's time..
Greed is pretty much the sole contributor to the problem. The only answer to it is for governments to step in and build so much affordable housing that greed has no chance to take root.
Yeah, developers in the United States seem to have utter contempt for the poorer people! This is worsening with increasing automation forcing more people into extreme poverty!
@@futerofiari5353 The good news? It's ultimately a self-limiting problem. Greedy landlords may make huge profits for now, but if everyone is out of work due to automation, those same landlords won't be able to rent out their overpriced accommodations at any price. The bad news? It will probably take a long time and a lot of civil unrest before the problem is solved.
The same is happening in the San Francisco Bay Area, where a “starter” home costs about a million USD. Very few people, even high-earning, double-income families, can afford this. Increasingly, housing is purchased by foreign investors and rented to local residents. My tiny cottage could get a rent of about $4,000/month, if I didn’t live in it.
"Urban dentistry" is a new term for me. Have you already explained this in a previous video? I'd love to learn more. Edit: I've googled the term and the only mention I could find in a construction context was one sentence in a Telegraph Article.
I wish they would make more small spaces like these with some sort of balcony or yard on the roof. Because I just need a space for my dogs to go potty but I love studios and small spaces.
I love the content you guys are putting out, now as ever. And this one goes all the way as usual, with values, peoples needs and all things to consider sharing the space of one sentence. Here I’m curious about a project and the possible reasons for its final site-> 8:27 for some reason I imagined the X “that marks the spot” would appear over the parking lot adjacent to the river. As it would leave the much needed greenery for park development. In London, dense as it already is, shouldn’t such spaces be put to use in the form of parks rather than being used for housing?
4 bedroom flats. that's what I'm talking about, that is what we need. we need cheap but spacious building. there is a reason why our parent's generation chose to move to the suburbs. let's build a new generation of the suburb. 15 floors tall, 1/15th the land price.
Excellent video. I much enjoy these longer in depth videos. It would be interesting to see a similar offering that looks at how we are tackling the issue of an ageing population. What is being done to provide for their needs now that any offspring's have flown the nest, resulting in people looking to downsize. Those looking for retirement or affordable independent supported living.
If we thought about housing as a home, instead of an investment, people would take ownership of their neighborhood. When an investor is just looking for a return on investment investing in the property is not a priority.
We are facing so many challenges. The more we can develop construction delivery methods the better. We need to build quality structures on time and budget. The cost of construction has inflated, workers are getting paid less, have more responsibility and fatalities are higher than ever. The bottom line is that there will always be a need for both modular and on-site building. Until on-site building can compete with quality, time and ultimately fairly with price, the industry will be broken. I think the market and demand is large enough to sustain both methods but unfortunately they are competing when bidding jobs. It's time for change! I love listening to the new ideas and am happy that it is something designers and engineers are thinking about. Great video here as always!
I'm surprised the UN/etc hasn't discussed implementing a global two-three children max policy. I can't see it being long until more countries contemplate having something like the Chinese policy.
This video shows there’s so much more to construction beyond mechanics and materials science. There’s understanding of human psychology and anthropology and society. And the creators of this video obviously have that.
Unselfish view of the world, interesting subject and professional editorial work by Fred Mills, however... the mad housing shortage phenomenon in the UK, particularly England, even more southeastern England, has several reasons that have been alluded to by Fred Mills, the major reason which hasn't been emphasized enough, has been the uncontrolled immigration into the UK mostly from third world countries, in the past 25 years or so. Building and building and building seems like the correct reactive response to the problem but it is akin to dropping more water into a bucket with a hole: the water keeps leaking out! Also, building more higher density areas in an already large city like London seems clever on paper at least in the short term: less people will commute to work or commute shorter distance to work and leisure. However, in the long term it also creates other problems that need to be addressed; raising density means those areas will put pressure on the local borough's resources, more people for the same schools, same health centres, same police stations, same firefighters, same tube, same buses, and it will soon come to a point of rupture. It already has in the UK, more England than Wales and Scotland, and public services won't be enough for the increased population of local residents. Add to this the fact that London natives are very keen on one-family houses or terraced houses, and tower-blocks of flats are not much loved...... We're supposed to be in the IT era, the internet era, the age of digitalisation and long-distance communication at a click, is there much point in continuing to stimulate the growth of big cities, and having more people per square mile and thus turning Paris or London (over 9 million each) into ugly new New Yorks or LAs (over 12 million each) or into chaotic mega-cities with dreadful mega-problems, like Lagos, Sao Paulo, or Mexico City?
Don't you think that maybe complete renovations of existing council estate buildings, could solve a divisive issue of gentrification and improve the standards of living in deprived areas, without a huge rise in costs of living? Maybe renovations of certain estates by improving the internal architecture, while maintaining the external structure could prove to be better for residents, such as the place in South London which was shown in the video
Although Tokyo is an example of how to cram millions of people into apartments, Japanese house prices are decreasing because of sensible migration policies. To add to this, Japan has managed to maintain a steady economy despite having a decreasing population. An incessantly increasing population due to immigration is not the way to go for Western Europe, it’s not sustainable in any way.
your statement feeds a false us vs them mentality. Although I agree we need mor strict immigration laws, we can't outright refuse immigration altogether
Carlos Leon I clearly didn’t state that immigration should be restricted entirely, but net migration should be as close to zero as possible. Oh and to try and state that we have some sort of moral obligation (the pressure of which is only applied to Western Europe) is ridiculous. Most immigrants are not refugees, and the war in Syria is almost over. This instinctive moral grandstanding and faux-virtue with the assumption that somehow Western Europe is compelled to accommodate anyone and use their resources and tax money to pay is ridiculous. It’s not proportionate either. Why do you think they are coming to Europe, despite the fact that there are many other places that don’t see conflict. Anyway refugees are a very small part of the bigger picture, most immigrants are economic migrants and we shouldn’t have to sacrifice things to allow them to come here in masses. Anyway, with the current rate of migration it will be hard to maintain the lifestyle that they come for in the first place.
Carlos Leon It’s not an us vs them mentality, rather it’s addressing basic logistics of population. It’s sad that so many people have such an instinctively emotional reaction to immigration, and only believe in immigration having positive consequences.
@@Miquelalalaa I don't think Immigration is purely positive, that's why I myself am critical about the overly open immigration policies in place here in Europe but it js getting stricter by the day. But there are millions of displaced people in Africa alone. And most of them are on their way to Europe in the next 30 years. And we cannot outright refuse them, so it's more like a dilemma situation. We have no choice but to take them in so we have to prepare for that outcome. The choice of shutting our border is not an option. Distribution is the way to go but countries are not yet coordinated enough leading to asymmetric immigration load. And in this case we should prepare for the worst case scenario
Most will be bought by investors speculating on rise of the profit of a home. These people tend to only live in the home 35% of the time,..to sell it within 4 years at a profit pricing everybody out and leaving the vast majority mostly uninhabited. First airtight laws to keep these people out, than build the homes.
In Amsterdam a neighbour sold his house boat 300m square meter for €1.2 million to a South-American couple that visit Amsterdam twice a year for a long weekend. It's that crazy. He build it in 1975 for the equivalent of €20.000,- today all in and it's been upgraded somewhat at the end of the 90s for the equivalent of around €5000,- ,....it's absolutely bonkers.

The same is happening in the San Francisco Bay Area, where a “starter” home costs about a million USD. Very few people, even high-earning, double-income families, can afford this. Increasingly, housing is purchased by foreign investors and rented to local residents. My tiny cottage could get a rent of about $4,000/month, if I didn’t live in it.

J I would support it. I have no kids, and can't afford any, so I do not have unprotected sex.
Absolutely fantastic 👍
This video shows there’s so much more to construction beyond mechanics and materials science. There’s understanding of human psychology and anthropology and society. And the creators of this video obviously have that.
Shut up, they don't
Please can you do a video on the new Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown Tunnel.
Very relevant for today. Keep the conversation going. Thanks.
Good morning all , from England
These videos are fantastic!
Excellent content per usual! Love B1M
Modular construction is definitely the way to go. I personally like the idea.
Unselfish view of the world, interesting subject and professional editorial work by Fred Mills, however...
the mad housing shortage phenomenon in the UK, particularly England, even more southeastern England, has several reasons that have been alluded to by Fred Mills, the major reason which hasn't been emphasized enough, has been the uncontrolled immigration into the UK mostly from third world countries, in the past 25 years or so. Building and building and building seems like the correct reactive response to the problem but it is akin to dropping more water into a bucket with a hole: the water keeps leaking out! Also, building more higher density areas in an already large city like London seems clever on paper at least in the short term: less people will commute to work or commute shorter distance to work and leisure. However, in the long term it also creates other problems that need to be addressed; raising density means those areas will put pressure on the local borough's resources, more people for the same schools, same health centres, same police stations, same firefighters, same tube, same buses, and it will soon come to a point of rupture. It already has in the UK, more England than Wales and Scotland, and public services won't be enough for the increased population of local residents. Add to this the fact that London natives are very keen on one-family houses or terraced houses, and tower-blocks of flats are not much loved......
We're supposed to be in the IT era, the internet era, the age of digitalisation and long-distance communication at a click, is there much point in continuing to stimulate the growth of big cities, and having more people per square mile and thus turning Paris or London (over 9 million each) into ugly new New Yorks or LAs (over 12 million each) or into chaotic mega-cities with dreadful mega-problems, like Lagos, Sao Paulo, or Mexico City?
Don't you think that maybe complete renovations of existing council estate buildings, could solve a divisive issue of gentrification and improve the standards of living in deprived areas, without a huge rise in costs of living? Maybe renovations of certain estates by improving the internal architecture, while maintaining the external structure could prove to be better for residents, such as the place in South London which was shown in the video
Thank you b1m 💕💕💕💕
Your are the greatest guys!
Thank you so much!!
Very nice! Great footage, very cool projects! Love it!
God dam I love B1M vids never disappoints
Love the video b1m hope you do an episode in the philippines 😊
It's nice to see other cities than London in the UK been represented! I'd love it if you could cover any projects outside of the London district.
The UK is a miserable place . It's just London that's a good place to live
Josef London is a shithole.. everybody is tired of the London arrogance and the London bubble. London isn’t even English.
Thank you so much for your housing project video! Thank you!
Always long if your happy. Iam proud of you
@3:26 idk how but that camera angle somehow made a councill estate look good
Here after watching your LA video of that dome.
Truly great video.
Thank you so much!! 👍👍
Although Tokyo is an example of how to cram millions of people into apartments, Japanese house prices are decreasing because of sensible migration policies. To add to this, Japan has managed to maintain a steady economy despite having a decreasing population. An incessantly increasing population due to immigration is not the way to go for Western Europe, it’s not sustainable in any way.
your statement feeds a false us vs them mentality. Although I agree we need mor strict immigration laws, we can't outright refuse immigration altogether
And we do have a refugee crisis and we do not want to commit a human rights violation do we?
Carlos Leon I clearly didn’t state that immigration should be restricted entirely, but net migration should be as close to zero as possible.
Oh and to try and state that we have some sort of moral obligation (the pressure of which is only applied to Western Europe) is ridiculous. Most immigrants are not refugees, and the war in Syria is almost over. This instinctive moral grandstanding and faux-virtue with the assumption that somehow Western Europe is compelled to accommodate anyone and use their resources and tax money to pay is ridiculous. It’s not proportionate either. Why do you think they are coming to Europe, despite the fact that there are many other places that don’t see conflict. Anyway refugees are a very small part of the bigger picture, most immigrants are economic migrants and we shouldn’t have to sacrifice things to allow them to come here in masses.
Anyway, with the current rate of migration it will be hard to maintain the lifestyle that they come for in the first place.
Carlos Leon It’s not an us vs them mentality, rather it’s addressing basic logistics of population. It’s sad that so many people have such an instinctively emotional reaction to immigration, and only believe in immigration having positive consequences.
@@Miquelalalaa I don't think Immigration is purely positive, that's why I myself am critical about the overly open immigration policies in place here in Europe but it js getting stricter by the day. But there are millions of displaced people in Africa alone. And most of them are on their way to Europe in the next 30 years. And we cannot outright refuse them, so it's more like a dilemma situation. We have no choice but to take them in so we have to prepare for that outcome. The choice of shutting our border is not an option. Distribution is the way to go but countries are not yet coordinated enough leading to asymmetric immigration load. And in this case we should prepare for the worst case scenario
Most will be bought by investors speculating on rise of the profit of a home.
These people tend to only live in the home 35% of the time,..to sell it within 4 years at a profit pricing everybody out and leaving the vast majority mostly uninhabited.
First airtight laws to keep these people out, than build the homes.
In Amsterdam a neighbour sold his house boat 300m square meter for €1.2 million to a South-American couple that visit Amsterdam twice a year for a long weekend.
It's that crazy.
He build it in 1975 for the equivalent of €20.000,- today all in and it's been upgraded somewhat at the end of the 90s for the equivalent of around €5000,- ,....it's absolutely bonkers.
One word to describe this channel.
Great!
