Sustainable solutions needed to cope with Malaysia’s housing problems, says Aussie don

VENICE (Italy): There is a pressing need to build sustainable, affordable homes to solve housing woes in Malaysia as the country’s population increases, said Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia's Architecture and Design dean, Dr Richard Blythe.

“It isn’t simply about putting bricks together to make a room in a house. There are all sorts of legal, financial, service and social systems that hold together our community,” he said.
