摘要
Domestic 'futures' have been a long time coming. This paper questions the extent to which futuristic *vision' linked to the rhetoric and sentiment of 'sustainable development' and the 'livable city' inform town and regional planning in England and Canada. Despite official commitment to 'environmental' objectives and media interest in 'ecotech' residential development, markets institutions and behaviour lag behind what is technically possible. Planning guidance encourages homes with less environmental impact. But this message has not reached most residential consumers. Is lack of mass markets in low impact housing a flaw in Government regulation, evidence of the cynical nature of official rhetoric, or proof of gradual product development as society redefines what is expected of living spaces? Or is it unwise to expect too much change in attitudes to property, or for innovation to come soon? (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
