Comment on Sweden is Building the World’s Largest City Made Entirely From Timber

I thought that too when they started doing wooden condos in some areas of Canada, but it’s an engineered product (cross-laminated timber), not just plain wood. Apparently it’s super dense and chars instead of burning outright, some tests had them self extinguishing from this abstract (using a specific adhesive)

After the compartment had cooled down, it was visually inspected. A few cracks at the surface of the gypsum boards were seen, but all of them remained in place. The inner gypsum board layer was undamaged except for some discolouring under the joints of the outer layer. The protected CLT back wall was undamaged.
