Oliver Lang on How Technology Can Help Make Urban Housing Livable

As urban densification continues and populations grow, we face a number of challenges in making urban housing livable. Issues of sustainability, affordability, desirability, and community engagement are complex and impact the quality of life of urban residents. But can technology help us create urban housing that’s affordable, carbon neutral, and fosters social connection? On this week’s episode of GetConnected AT WORK our hosts, Mike Agerbo and Chris Pereira, speak with Oliver Lang, Co-Founder and CEO of Intelligent City. An architect and urban entrepreneur, Oliver shares with us how Intelligent City uses technology to tackle some of the biggest issues in urban housing, creating sustainable, adaptable, and desirable urban developments that nurture communities.

Discussing the unique end-to-end approach Intelligent City uses to design these urban housing solutions, Oliver talks about how the company combines technology, advanced prefabrication methods, and mass timber construction to build livable housing faster and with better cost control.
