Building "sustainable" houses is not sustainable if their inhabitants rely on cars to get to and from them. You can fiddle with cold bridges and high U-values for the fabric as much as you want to, but if Mr. Bloggs is driving to the railway station and Mrs. Bloggs s chauffeuring her children to and from school before driving to Sainsbury's and back, it's all completely pointless.

In other words, sustainability is not for building construction nerds, it's for strategies about planning and the kind of cities we should be building for the future.
