The Vancouver Sun says one of the hot topics in 2013, according to Adjunct Professor Michael Geller at the Simon Fraser University Centre for Sustainable Community Development, will be increased demand for modular housing in British Columbia, Canada. He says interest in factory-built methods will be spurred by the time-lapse video of The Broad Group in China erecting a 30-story modular hotel in 15 days working round the clock, as MHProNews wrote about Jan. 10, 2012. In 2009 he proposed relocatable affordable modular housing that could temporarily be sited in vacant sites and parking lots around Vancouver awaiting redevelopment.
