Low density habitation
A simple way to build a sustainable village is using earhships. These are essentially of-the-grid houses. So if everybody lives in an earthsip the village habitation area is already sustainable.
A village using earthships can be build but it will resemble a more rural landscape. Every earthship needs lot of space to get enough light and plants. This of course makes the distances within the village larger, so the need for cars become (probably) necessary.
Earthships
An earthship is a dwelling designed for of the grid living. It is designed are maximized to
- need only the sun for heating
- natural air flows for cooling
- capture, filter and reuses rain so no additional water supply is needed
- use solar, wind and batteries to provide enough electricity continuously
- build in green house to provide an amount of food
- build using recycled materials
