I would have thought the most efficient way of living would be lots of tiny apartments in a single well-built building, so that it's easier to maintain temperature across all the living spaces.

Yeah, that's a major part of what I meant with how inefficient the typical tiny house seems. They are a very individualistic, or selfish if you want to be mean, way of going about the problem.

Granted, but a single family looking to downsize can't build an apartment block.
On a semi-related note, show me an affordable apartment building where all of the units get adequate natural light. I am never living in a space with only one exterior wall again, if I can avoid it.

Well, yeah not being able to cross ventilate sucks. But shitty design is shitty design indepently from the style of dwelling.
To the first point: a smal group of of people and families can though. It's not always easy, but I know at least of a few cities that actively try to help such private groups to build their own apartment buildings indepently from large investors.
I'm actively involved in a land trust that pushes for affordable and sustainable housing development in the local area and we've successfully got the ear of local politicians and the developer. It can be done but requires effort.

I kinda appreciate the honesty of this one.
Whoop that's huge
This bothers me a lot less than the open plan toilet. I could just put a folding screen in front of it when i had guests, and it wiuld work pretty well to chill a keg for parties.
The HASSELL design for a Mars Habitat has reached the final 10 of NASA’s 3D Printing Centennial Challenge. This NASA competition sought perspectives from outside the traditional aerospace industry, to explore how a human habitat could be designed and delivered on Mars using autonomous 3D printing technologies. HASSELL partnered with Eckersley O’Callaghan to design the external shell which could be constructed entirely by autonomous robots using Mars’ natural regolith.
Final film has been made in collaboration with the team at LightField London.

Cool, now all we need to do is develop those modular autonomous multi-purpose repurposeable artificially-intelligent single-wheeled robots, that should be super easy, right? Trying to make one thing that can do everything always works out great, right? Like the Bradley and the Lightning II, those machines aren't severely compromised and not really particularly good at any one of the tasks they are supposed to excel at, are they?
I have infrastructure and I still haul all my groceries in a backpack.
Standing up for the backpack-enabled lifestyle here.
How far though? because there is a difference between a city that was built pre and another built up after the advent of cars. And how that city cares for it's roads and sidewalks/bikepaths

It'd be a hard sell in a lot of American cities. I'm not sure what the weather is like over there but if say, Chicago was a foot-and-public-transport-only town, people would end up looking like Mr. Freeze attacked the place.
Edit: wait are we talking about that Spanish (I think) city that basically went to a fully pedestrian-focused city plan or did I see that somewhere else and I'm just being a confused buffoon?
Edit the 2st: yeah I saw that on Tumblr I'm a complete moron ignore me.

Chicago has a crazy good public transit system so it might not be the best example for that sort of thing

I was gonna use my hometown if Cheyenne, cuz it's pretty spread out and the public transit sucks, and the weather is actively attempting to kill you for like 8 months of the year, but nobody cares about Wyoming and only like 65-70k people live in Cheyenne.
But I feel like that situation can easily apply to a broad section of places in the states. Suburban sprawl, severe inclement weather for large portions of the year, etc.
I haven't been to a lot of places
Edit: for those interested the Spanish Town is Pontevedra, and the guardian did an article about it recently that's pretty neat!

I really do think that closed-system habitats is a nut that we can approach cracking in today's world. I wish I was a frickin billionaire I'd fund a hab-dome project. NO, SAYS THE MAN IN WASHINGTON-
It might become more necessary as weather patterns and storm severity become more difficult to predict and account for.
fun fact: My previous workplace built a bunch of the Eden project.
Less fun fact: the people importing the flora were not particularly cautious when unpacking and the whole place is overrun with giant south-east asian cockroaches.

It would be a fun place to have a shower party, if you can manage to get it dark enough

...remoteness
...no livable habitat
...deadly radiation...
...we rate it 3 out of 5 Australias”
Seems less likely to accidentally collapse and puncture your inflatable house that way, for sure.
Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
it's just like my invention that I'm going to invent!
we'll be able to solve all of these problems as soon as I make it!

Homelessness, much like starvation, is a regulatory issue not an engineering problem.
If they just say "we need this tech for future space exploration" I'd be all for it.
