Mobile homes: can it be implemented in Pakistan?

The sugar cane is the common man.

Governments come and does this to the common man every year and drinks the sweet and healthy juice. And when the next government comes they do the same knowing there is no juice left but still want to get the last sweet and healthy drop out of it.

The nation is 67 years old, imagine the common man - sorry the sugarcane - going through the process at least 30 times.

@Al Bhatti unless you want these people BBQed not going to happen specially in Pakistan. Pictures you are posting of different buildings cost 100 of 1000s of dollars. If you got that kind of money you don't need to live in a container.

I am not asking to implement exactly the same as in the pictures. I posted the pictures just for illustration purposes.

Like conventional houses, there can be customized versions for these kinds of units as well as per local weather, environment and budget.

Any thing is possible.

Can the below be used or implemented in Pakistan?

For example in some out skirts of UK people can pay rent to the government for a piece of land which comes to a very small amount. And people have portacabin or container houses with gardens and garage and all the facilities.

In Pakistan government can allocate large un-used areas of land for this purpose and get revenues in the form of rent and provide homes to homeless people.

Cost effective, as people say government does not have money (which is not true at all)

Two shipping containers flank a taller common space in this residence designed by Studio H:T. The bedrooms are in the containers while the entry, dining, living, and a loft is in the center area. The project is planned to be off-the-grid using solar orientation, passive cooling, green roofs, pellet stove heating, and photovoltaics to create electricity.

Benjamin Garcia Saxe Architecture designed this orange container home for clients in San Jose, Costa Rica. The goal was to provide them with the spectacular views of the natural landscape. The roof between the two containers is made from the scrap metal.

Copenhagen-based architecture firm arcgency created the “WFH House” in Wuxi, China, out of three stacked shipping containers. Upcycled steel shipping containers were used for a steel frame, which was then clad with a sustainable bamboo facade. The home includes a rainwater collection system, solar cell-clad green roof, skylights, and permeable paving.

This structure, which was exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is called the MDU, or Mobile Dwelling Unit, and was designed by Lot-EK. It is meant to travel with its dweller to long term destinations. When traveling, its sub-volumes are pushed in to fill the entire container, and then interlock so the container is left flush and can be shipped worldwide. When in use, the sub-volumes are pushed out, and its 500-square-foot interior is suitable for living and working.
