Implications - In rapidly growing cities, apartments have become essential living spaces to accommodate the space constraints of cramped, urban areas. The lack of space in small rooms can often be a problem, so furniture companies are developing pieces that are compact while providing more storage space. As household products become more space-friendly and multi-functional, living in small spaces will become easier for city-dwellers.
