Shipping Container Homes - are they the silver bullet we’ve been looking for or more of a white elephant? - Architect Derek Trenaman joins the Home Show to discuss.

So, with COP26 dominating the news feed these past few days it is the perfect time to chat about the idea of the 15 minutes City. It’s an approach to city planning that has been adopted in cities like Melbourne, Barcelona and Paris.
