The global leader in smart affordable housing, Planet Smart City designs and builds cities and neighbourhoods that place people at the heart of every project. Our multi-disciplinary teams integrate architectural, digital, environmental and social innovation solutions to deliver high-quality low-cost homes, creating lasting value. Founded in 2015 by Italian real-estate experts Giovanni Savio and Susanna Marchionni, and chaired by physicist and entrepreneur Stefano Buono, the company has the vision to offer everyone the opportunity to live in a better home. Planet tackles the global housing crisis in countries with large housing deficits and also works in partnership with developers worldwide to revitalise existing communities through smart technologies. Our know-how is transferred globally whilst always catering for local culture and needs. Planet's unique proposition has become a reality in Brazil where we are building Smart City Laguna, the first smart affordable housing project in the world, Smart City Natal and Smart City Aquiraz.
