over 5,000 prefabricated houses in Germany for the occupying force of the United States. There is no pan-EU housing standard for this kind of home construction, and regulation is at the national level. EU directives that apply to housing construction and design do not directly affect the modular home sector. However, each modular home must comply with EU's Eurocodes and local building codes. United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, the word "prefab" is often associated with a specific type of prefabricated house built in large numbers after the Second World War, such as Airey houses, as a temporary replacement for housing that had been destroyed by bombs, particularly in London. Despite the intention that these dwellings would be a strictly temporary measure, many remained inhabited for years and even decades after the end of the war. A small number are still in use in the 21st century, but more and more are being demolished. In 2011 it was announced that Britain’s largest remaining prefab estate of 187 homes in Lewisham, South-East London, is to be redeveloped except for six homes. Prefabs were also built in the First World War such as the still occupied houses in Austin Village, Birmingham. The latest iteration of the idea is a development of 36 apartments called y:cube made by the YMCA in Mitcham, South London Ilke Homes in Knaresborough constructs 2 and 3 bedroom 'modular' homes that can be erected in 36 hours. Australia and Asia In 2010, Bali exported 98,417 prefabricated houses, but in 2011 the region only exported 5,007 units due to the global economic slowdown that affected a number of export destinations. These Balinese prefab houses are well known for their artistic design and practical value.
