HUD Looks At Deconstruction

28 April 2001 - 7:00am

A study recently released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development examines the feasibility of deconstruction as practiced by four urban communities.

Deconstruction is a new term that refers to the practice of recycling old building materials rather than disposing of them. Communities can use deconstruction practices to compliment other community objectives. Practicing deconstruction can create jobs, expand small businesses, and benefit the environment. The study, which is is intended for public housing authorities and community leaders, discusses the best ways to implement deconstruction and the obstacles that communities may face in the process.
