It is possible to decrease the space we use for living by reducing the amount of materials we store. Materials that are rarely used [gardening supplies, home repair, spare parts] can be publicly exchanged rather than privately owned. In return, it will decrease the energy needed to produce so many items, decrease the energy used to ship these items, decrease the amount of waste produced and decrease the area to store the waste.

Due to the terrain of Fosses, stairways exist to connect neighborhoods up on the hill to Avenue Henri Barbusse. The stairs exist periodically along the Eco Spine and have an opportunity to become a prototype for public buildings with an effort to improve the existing space.
