**The Company**
Planet Smart City fosters a culture of inclusivity that reflects our mission in addressing one of the most pressing current global issues: affordable housing.
More than 1.6 billion people currently live in unsafe and overcrowded housing.
We create cities and districts that are economically, environmentally and socially sustainable by integrating the best architecture and engineering with the use of smart technology, digitalisation, resilient infrastructure and intelligent urban planning to provide high-quality, low-cost homes not only for today but for future generations.
People and communities are put at the heart of our neighbourhoods, improving lives by enabling a circular economy and offering social innovation programmes, which help promote strong and supportive communities that nurture relationships and are enriched with services at a local level.
By embracing high-impact, long-term value creation in all our projects, we want to change cities and lives for the better.
Together, we are pioneering new standards for affordable housing which will create lasting value for our business and society present and future.
