Through the organisation of supply chains to prioritise domestic materials and products, locally sourced where possible, the environmental impact of transport could be lowered, as many core materials are currently imported from overseas. 39 Furthermore, by using locally sourced materials, the design of the town can be rooted in the local vernacular architectural style, increasing the acceptability of new towns with local populations. 40
