If you believe that building more housing is a solution to the housing crisis, then building large blocks of flats from prefabricates should seem like an attractive option.

You can build cheaply and efficiently because of economy of scale, and with large scale planning, entire settlements can pop up within 10 years complete with public transport, and amenities.

It really doesn’t have to look bad either. With modern materials, a bit of ornamentation, and greenery it can be a great place to live for hundreds of millions of people.
