Live from MIPIM 2023:

Marta Rocamora, CEO of GroundInn & COO of Co-Liv & Lars Lundbye Creative Director from Almener.

Marta, our host at MIPIM Coliv Summit 2023, interviews Lars Lundbye from Almener, a Copenhagen-based organization experimenting with a cooperative approach to building co-living communities and ecovillages. The model aims to put the power back in citizens' hands, fostering a sustainable and socially interactive lifestyle. Lars shares the vision of Almener, which focuses on building communities where people need and have responsibility for each other, rather than the top- down, commercial approach to co-living. By enabling citizens to become developers, Almener is attempting to return the power of decision-making to the individuals, creating communities that are more sustainable and socially interactive. Lars emphasizes the importance of the co-living model in revitalizing civic society and fostering a sense of community in urban areas. Almener uses technology, including gaming, to facilitate decision-making and consensus-building among community members, making it easier for them to envision and actualize their dream living environment. Marta and Lars discuss the challenges of promoting sustainability within co-living communities and the importance of building eco-friendly and conscious communities. Lars believes that people who prioritize a more social lifestyle also tend to take responsibility on a higher level, leading to more sustainable and environmentally conscious communities.

Notable Quotes:

Lars Lundbye:

- "I think people who would prioritize a more social lifestyle actually moving together also have a tendency to take responsibility on a high level."

- "It's a lot about taking the power back to the citizens where it belongs and building co-living communities ecovillages."

Researchers, writers, and activists such as Caroline Criado Perez (author of Invisible Women) have drawn attention to how everyday items and public spaces are designed for men more often than we might realize. As coliving spaces lie at an intersection of public and private space, do the same biases apply? And how might we as an industry ensure that we do not have a gender “blind spot” when it comes to the female user experience?
We will explore these questions and more with guest speakers Penny Clark Co-Founder and Head of research and sustainability at Conscious Coliving.

- "I want to live the rest of my life in community-focused buildings or real estate."

Live from MIPIM 2023:

Marta Rocamora: CEO of Grounded Innovation, COO of Co-Liv & Host, Live at MIPIM Co-Liv Summit 2023 • Laetitia Bo: Founder of Urban Act, Co-Living Lawyer

In this insightful conversation, Marta Rocamora interviews Laetitia Bo, the founder of Urban Act and a co-living lawyer, at the MIPIM Co-Liv Summit 2023. They discuss the regulatory challenges that co-living operators face when entering the French market and how Urban Act helps them navigate these complexities. Laetitia highlights that while there are multiple regulations to consider, it is possible to implement co-living projects in France with the existing legislation. She also emphasizes the importance of operators understanding and accounting for potential regulatory changes in their business plans, such as the rent cap in Paris and other cities. Marta and Laetitia delve into the ways co-living can contribute to creating more sustainable and inclusive communities in urban areas, with Laetitia sharing the example of a company called Commune that aims to help single-parent families find affordable housing in Paris. They discuss the evolution of co-living as a recognized and growing sector within the real estate industry and the various demographics it can serve. In a rapid-fire question round, Laetitia describes co-living as "co-housing with services" and identifies the biggest misconception as the belief that co-living is cheap.

Notable Quotes:

Laetitia Bo

- "Coliving is co-housing with services."

- "The biggest misconception about Coliving? Coliving is cheap."

- "Which city needs more co-living? Paris."

- "What is your vision of coliving? The next real estate product in the residential area that is going to be applied to all ages of the population."

Student housing industry experts will explore this topic and examine the importance of community for students and what are the crossovers with the wider coliving sector.
