The article focused on the use of residential units in the form of shipping containers to host athletes during the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. It addresses the challenges associated with this choice, particularly the small spaces and limited room sizes, which led to criticism from athletes—especially basketball players of large build—who claimed that the rooms were uncomfortable and impeded comfort during their stay. To address these issues, organizers proposed improving the clarity regarding the use of bed accessories and related procedures, aiming to create a more comfortable environment.

Some athletes even described the experience as akin to camping, reflecting the limited options available within the framework of sustainability.
