The challenge of housing a growing number of people in the same number of square meters is being faced by major cities around the world. The construction of micro apartments<\/strong> is on the rise in Berlin, Paris and Barcelona. London has also begun to realize that building smaller homes<\/strong> could be the solution to its space challenge. In 2016 alone, over 8,000 apartments were built in England that measured less than 37 m\u00b2.(1)<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n
