#074 - Bryn Davidson: The Massive Carbon Footprint Hidden Under Our Cities

What if the most “sustainable” building is still harming the planet? Bryn Davidson has spent the last two decades trying to make buildings better for people and the planet — not just through design, but through the boring-but-powerful stuff most architects avoid: policy, zoning, and building codes.He explains why a “green” building can still be a climate disaster, talks about the idea of the “carbon iceberg” hiding under our nicest projects, and shares one simple rule about daylight that could make apartments feel instantly more livable. And then we get into the real controversy: why “protecting neighborhood character” can accidentally break housing, push sprawl, and lock cities into car-dependence.If you’ve ever wondered why doing the right thing still feels hard - this episode will make you see the system behind it.To explore more about Bryn Davidson and his work, you can follow him on Linkedin, Instagram @lanefab , or visit his website lanefab.com.Join me, Ladina, on this green journey, and don't forget to subscribe for more insightful conversations about sustainable living and architecture and drop us a review.
