TU Delft - TU Delft | Global Initiative - SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities

In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals. Goal no. 11 is Sustainable cities and communities.

In Nicaragua, houses are often made of concrete and corrugated steel, materials not really suitable for the hot and humid climate. At the same time, bamboo is abundant and could serve as a local and renewable building material. Therefore, a group of students created Bambú Social to support local communities with the opportunity to use bamboo as a construction material.
