21 EpisoderThis week we have a change-maker who's looking at how homes and technology meet and how new technology can be introduced into the property sector in general. After a 40-year career in social housing Matthew Gardiner is expert in the business of social landlords. He has direct experience of building new homes, managing and maintaining large property portfolios and securing institutional investment into the sector for organisations based in London, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. As CEO at Trafford Housing Trust for 14 years, he grew the organisation from its roots within a single Borough to one operating at scale across much of the NW of England. Matt and myself talked about how public sector housing authorities need to adopt low touch, no touch technology as well as out of sector thinking to help improve housing quality and how we can look at gamification and the reward of housing data capture to help provide cheaper smart housing solutions.
Fanyu Lin is an award-winning entrepreneur and architect, passionate about impact investing. She is the CEO of Fluxus, a construction technology company and social enterprise committed to improving quality of life through delivering affordable, sustainable and smart homes. In this episode, Fanyu and myself talked about the use of AI-driven technology platforms in affordable homes, the industrial revolution and the reduction of operational and maintenance costs through technology.

In this episode, Tom and myself talked about setting up and running a community land trust to develop homes and other assets to meet local needs.
