What is the ask?
We're eager to team up with universities and councils to tap into unused land resources. Our goal is to collaborate closely with universities, offering temporary land use to empower communities and address housing needs. Leveraging the MetaConnex digital twin planning tool, we can efficiently visualise and implement modular planning solutions on a large scale. Our initiative, My Community Life, is geared towards managing housing supply, planning, delivery, and student accommodations. All we require from you is to identify suitable land to make this community vision a reality.
