Crowdfunding, a financing source for sustainable town planning

(Staff Translation)

Chile / South America

How to finance city projects without going to the banks? Two architect friends have found the answer by creating the first crowdfunding platform in Santiago. An initiative that stimulates urban creativity and transforms each citizen into a potential donor.

A platform for a better city live  

Whilst Crowdfunding is not a new concept, until now, it was mostly deployed for cultural projects such as films or documentaries.

Whilst half of the world’s population already lives in cities and that percentage should increase to 70% by 2050, the two architects  Marisol García and Krista Canellakis had the idea to apply this financing recipe to urban projects with a social intent.

Une plateforme pour mieux vivre la ville
