A renewed rail network can simultaneously address housing shortages and climate change by enabling sustainable commuting and decentralizing living patterns. Improved rail links allow people to live further from city centers without increasing car use, reducing pressure on urban housing markets and lowering transport emissions. Individual lifestyle choices, such as opting out of discretionary travel and limiting consumption, contribute to personal emissions reductions even if their impact is modest. Strengthened public transport infrastructure combined with behavioural shifts can create durable emissions reductions and relieve housing demand in high-cost urban cores. Communication channels can support public engagement and updates.
