Australia is turning to modular and prefabricated housing as a smart solution to its dual crises: housing shortages and climate vulnerability. Factory-built homes—once stigmatized as temporary shelters—are now being reimagined as high-quality, sustainable dwellings that can be built faster, cheaper, and with less environmental impact. With floods, fires, and affordability challenges on the rise, modular housing might just be the blueprint for a more resilient future. This ABC News article offers a compelling and timely look at how modular housing is reshaping Australia's approach to climate resilience and sustainable development.
