As urban space becomes a premium commodity, a new wave of 'CityPods' is landing in the downtown core. These micro-apartments, ranging from 250 to 400 square feet, are designed with modular furniture and high-tech amenities to maximize every inch of living space. Ideal for young professionals and minimalist enthusiasts, the CityPods development represents a bold shift in urban housing philosophy. Proponents argue that micro-living is the key to affordable downtown residency, while critics question the long-term sustainability of such compact environments.
