Living PlanIT is a technology company, founded in 2006, and focuses on delivering technologies and platforms to improve efficiencies and accelerate change in cities and urban spaces - providing the missing link between the real estate and technology sectors. Cities are complex systems, where inefficiencies arise because systems are not interconnected and have no way to “talk” to one another. Living PlanIT is addressing these problems by developing technologies for the more efficient design, development and operation of future cities, which will enable a reduction in the use of natural resources and help cities to respond to the evolving needs of their citizens. As the technology industry moves into the era of Machine to Machine communications,
