What can #climate #innovation look like when it comes to thinking creatively about use of space, & #architecture development, in #cities? Meet @arthurkay_, Co-Founder of @skyroomlondon, helping landowners maximise the economic, social & environmental value of existing buildings⬇️

What if we take land acquisition out of the house building equation?

Skyroom is helping major landowners identify suitable development sites they didn’t know they had.

[Geovation @Geovation]

It was great to present what Geovation does and for some of our PropTech start-ups to present what they're working on at #CREtechLondon2022!

Thanks to @skyroomlondon, @UrbanRandD and HomeFinder for sharing what's going on with their amazing start-ups🙌

[Geovation @Geovation]

Did you know that in London when buying a typical house or flat, 70% of the cost is for the land it’s built on?

@skyroomlondon, an award-winning technology, design and development company, set out to solve this problem!

It's right to celebrate the amazing projects led by #localauthorities and #councils to mitigate and adapt to climate change:

— @wfcouncil is highlighted in this article for decarbonising its pension funds.
— @londoncouncils is spearheading the #retfofit housing action plan. 🚀

[LABM Weekly @LABMmag]

Progress needs to be accelerated if UK’s #climate and #nature targets are to be met, say @friends_earth and @Ashden_org as they publish new resources for #councils and #campaigners showcasing the inspiring work of 40 #localauthorities.

🙌Skyroom's #airspace development solution has been chosen for the climate champions power list.

Thanks to organisers @HomesUK @insidehousing and @unlocknetzero for championing #ClimateAction

[Skyroom @skyroomgroup]

To Skyroom, the climate challenge for the #housing industry is threefold:

1. Demand for homes = demand for land.
2. Construction is a huge carbon emitter.
3. Existing homes need retrofitting.

Skyroom's solution helps landowners address all three challenges, simultaneously.

[Unlock Net Zero @unlocknetzero]
