CEOs for Cities is a national network of urban leaders dedicated to building and sustaining the next generation of great American cities.

First, it was the joys of less stuff.  Are we evolving now to the joys of less space?

There is something I love about this true story from a young Vancouver family of four living in a 950 square foot condo.  Having grown up in a two bedroom house and shared a bedroom with my older brother for many years, I believe there are virtues in a home when you are forced to share time with family members.  In 950 square feet, you don't have to go looking for people.  It makes for good family time and a good public realm.  So here's a summary of the main points and a link to the post.

Idea #1 - Families of the future valuing time more than space

Idea #2 - Two bedroom apartments or condos can accommodate a family of four (although some modifications would help)

Idea # 3 - Families will use creative strategies to avoid over-accumulation of stuff that won’t fit.

Idea #3B - The experience economy rises out of condos
