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."

• Christian Moldenhauer, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Expert Powerhouse.

In this episode of Real Talk on Future of Living, Marta and Christian Moldenhauer discuss the benefits of independent contracting and how it relates to co-living. Christian emphasizes the importance of being flexible, having a cost advantage, and having people who know the business to get projects up and running quickly. He also notes that creating a sense of community is important for both independent contractors and co-living residents. The conversation then moves to the challenges of co-living and independent contracting, with Christian pointing out the need for education around co-living and the potential for loneliness among independent contractors. He suggests that creating a sense of community and providing additional value to tenants can help overcome these challenges. Christian concludes by emphasizing the need for more diversity and maturity in the co-living sector and highlights the potential for co-living spaces targeted towards specific customer segments, such as independent consultants.

Notable Quotes:

"What I took away yesterday is a clearer definition of co-living, that it's about community, but there are also a lot of aspects around very specific target groups and very specific products." - Christian Moldenhauer, co-CEO and co-founder of Expert Powerhouse

"I think with a lot of concepts in real estate and especially, uh, co-living, there needs to be education done to a lot of corporates, to a lot of, uh, companies. And of course, independent freelancers can help in that." - Christian Moldenhauer, co-CEO and co-founder of Expert Powerhouse.
