Commercial Real Estate Needs a Digital Transformation

From landowners to urban residents, all stakeholders would benefit from bringing digital, collaborative and transformational elements together in the traditional real estate value chain.

In a real estate project, collaboration and coordination between stakeholders should reject the silo perspective and consider the overall value chain in order to optimise the value created and captured in the ecosystem. When a dominant company or organisation is present in each market of the real estate value chain, it should assume responsibility for convincing all stakeholders and coordinating their efforts using digital tools and technologies. The end result of such systemic management would be a more sustainable real estate development or city from which all stakeholders would derive tangible and intangible added value.

The Innovation Potential of Human-Centred Cities

Cities designed around the individual can support sustainable urban development and create lasting value and innovation.

Urban value innovations are innovations that create value for the people and support the sustainable development of the city. From a business perspective urban value innovations need to align innovation with utility (improved quality of living in sustainable cities), price (competitive market price) and cost (to produce the product or service). The city of tomorrow should be a “smart” and a sustainable one, where urban value innovations based on human-centered innovations will support social, economic and environmental innovations.

Cities Can Capture More Value
Category: Strategy

 

AUTHOR:

By implementing a centralised management platform, cities could create more value for business, citizens and investors. But they’ll have to reinvent their management approach.

Moving from segmented city management to systemic urban management using a city platform will create value through a combination of enhanced city characteristics. These will include more efficient resource management and demand management, business intelligence, better quality of services across departments, and an increased number of city dwellers. In addition, city platforms will help to decrease energy consumption, pollution (GHG, air, noise), response time between departments, and damages in case of incident, crisis or catastrophe.
