Developing inexpensive building materials

Description

Developing inexpensive building materials involves researching, designing, and producing construction components using locally available, low-cost resources and simple manufacturing techniques. This strategy aims to reduce construction costs, increase access to safe housing, and address shortages of conventional materials. By promoting the use of alternative materials such as stabilized earth, recycled waste, or agricultural by-products, it remedies affordability barriers, supports sustainable development, and empowers communities to improve living conditions with minimal financial and environmental impact.
