Project title:

THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL REAL ESTATE TECHNOLOGIES ON HOUSING AND HOME


This project explores the spatialization of digital real estate platforms in the burgeoning property technology, or Proptech, sector. How do technologies for the management, transaction, surveyance and surveillance of real estate transform access to real estate and our relationships to property?

Housing and home are at the center of numerous conflicts in the modern economy. Today, we're confronted with a housing market that seems to reach historic highs with each passing day, creating the space for immense capital gains while introducing new challenges to prospective homeowners and renters alike.

This study confronts the contemporary challenges of housing through the lens of digital geospatial technologies. We are particularly interested in speaking with representatives, clients, and stakeholders operating at the nexus of real estate-finance-technology industry.
