We're building that platform! https://ehab.co/

But yeah regulation and governments are holding things back...

I am creating a digital platform on which the cities of the future will be built. See http://ehab.co/
https://icobench.com/ico/ehab

But what I want to know is... what will these future cities look like?

Is anyone here is interested in our project check out our review on ICO bench - leave one if you have the time!

Hey, yes you can buy a house in tokens, or pay a deposit in tokens. If you are buying a house for $100,000 and it requires a deposit of 5% then you'll need $5000 dollars worth of EHB tokens.

Hi Rattle,
I think you have mis read the project description. We are building new homes. Homes where the people who will be living there can have a say in how their whole neighbourhood and their own home are built and designed.

This is a completely new housing system. Not akin to any other competitor in the world.

A typo! Edited now. Thanks

Thanks! We want to be pioneers to empower a people led housing system.

I promise I'm not bored! Just tired from working long nights on the project

Hi,
We are a UK based company so therefore our first projects will be here.
In the whitepaper we state that our key markets for the first 2 years will be the UK, USA and Brazil. We are in talks for new projects in all 3 locations.

How quickly we can scale really depends on how much we raise in the Token Sale.

Although we will focus on building in these key markets to begin with anyone will be able to invest from anywhere around the world.

Hope this helps!

Where are you based?

I just checked the links and they should work.

That building is just an example of a possible project which could be built through our platform. The system is being built to be very flexible so if lots of people come together in a city a high rise building could be built. We are in discussions to get an urban site into our project pipeline. We'll keep you updated. Check out https://ehab.co/ in the meantime!

The ehab platform is a complete redesign of how housing, neighbourhoods and cities are currently designed, financed and built. The platform puts people in control of the design, raises finance from the crowd and deploys small innovative developers to develop the projects.

The ehab mission is to remove the power from large housing developers and banks, who currently control housing and make huge returns on a product which delivers little social good, and empower people to solve the global housing crisis.  

The ultimate vision is to develop a decentralised tool which enables the delivery of democratic, affordable, livable, sustainable smart cities.

--Traction so far--
We’ve already built collaborations with two significant housing developments in the UK, giving us a testing bed for developing our platform, securing our first project pipeline and generating revenue.  With only these two projects we have all the properties we need to develop to be profitable for the first 4 years of our operations. We are still in the process of working out deals for projects with 3 other organisations in the UK and we’re in early stage talks with a project in San Francisco and with a project in the Sao Paulo region of Brazil.  

The current pipeline:

Bromford Labs - creating innovative solutions for social housing
Bromford is a housing association which manages 28,271 homes across the UK
One of the leading housing associations for pursuing innovative management and development processes.
We have partnered with Bromford to create completely new ways of delivering social housing in the UK.

They are aiming to build 5,300 homes in the next 5 years and we intend to support this goal.

The Cambridge-Norwich Tech Corridor - large scale project over a decade
--The tech corridor project has garnered £500 million of investment
--To create 24,000 new jobs
--To build 20,000 new homes
This project is focused on creating high tech jobs and building on what are already  thriving tech scenes in the cities of Cambridge and Norwich, therefore a hightech method of housing delivery is complimentary with the aims of the project.

To support this project ehab will be a primary partner in helping deliver the 20,000 new homes in a completely new, digitally enhanced way.

Total project pipeline: 25,300 homes + large, currently unknown amount of commercial floorspace

We also have partnerships with world leading architects and innovative local developers to be part of these first projects.

--The platform--
The platform is the blockchain based system which will decentralise the creation and financing of urban environments. Using a combination of blockchain, tokens, smart contracts and other technologies the platform collects demand data, automatically matches users to housing projects based on this data, empowers a group of total strangers to co-design a project and reach consensus. It facilitates the build process, where we can make time and cost efficiency savings, we then create the funding environment for these projects through global and borderless crowdfunding.

The platform collects detailed housing demand information from people wanting and needing housing. This information is used to automatically match you to relevant developers and projects in the areas you want to live. The platform dynamically updates the information about both supply and demand meaning we can accurately address inefficiencies and improve housing supply with hard data on where issues lie. .

When a project is formed the users in that project are able to take design decisions about their own homes. The chosen developers and architects draw up rough sketches for the communities design and users can vote on the designs they like best. The best features of the designs are then incorporated into the plan by the housing specialists. This creates a project many times better, and more tailored to the people who will actually live there, than any project a developer could produce alone.

Our layers of smart contracts cut costs by; reducing the need for lawyers during the finance drawdown process, automatically sharing necessary information with project stakeholders based on different rules and criteria and through the automation of payments. This is just part of the digital project management system which helps developers, save time, money and translate plans into houses on the ground. Using this system has several benefits for developers from reducing payment delays to having complete traceability of materials.

The platform uses tokens which interact with the smart contracts to allow for the seamless transfer of value between stakeholders in a project. These tokens also offer investors around the world the opportunity to invest in these new innovative projects and receive returns using a  token system which gives them a liquid and asset backed income.

This platform is modular and is therefore intended to be upgradable to accommodate the continuous evolution of housing and urban development and so we can continue to add value to our users and the network.

--Token sale--
The ehab token sale, will issue ehab tokens (EHBs) during the sale period. These tokens are application tokens which can be used in the platform ecosystem or sold on any of our partnered exchanges.

We will be selling 50% of the tokens in this TS (and pre-sale), 7% will be used to as a reward for advisors, the team and other collaborators and ehab will retain the remaining 43%. Tokens not sold in the sale will be frozen and ehab will only use them to maintain liquidity and, if needed, to run another TS for funding expansion.

We have selected a hard cap of 50,000 ETH
There will be a maximum of 3,100,000,000 EHB tokens possible
1,550,000,000 EHBs will be available over the course of the sale.

The ehab pre-sale will commence on the 9th of February 2018 at 12:00:00 GMT
This Pre-Sale will close on the 18th of February at 23:59:59 GMT
The main sale will commence on the 1st of March 2018 12:00:00 GMT
The TS and pre-sale will remain open for a full 81 days
The sale will close on the 30th of April at 23:59:59 GMT

We will sell ehab tokens in exchange for ether. This ether will be used to fund the development of the ehab platform and provide liquidity for the first projects.

The tokens will be hosted on one of the following exchanges; Waves DEX, Liqui, Bittrex or YoBit, we will look to make announcements of these deals after we have closed the pre-sale.

--Token Economics--
The market cap of our tokens is the value pool our properties can receive crowd investment from, this is one of the main features of the platform and a driver of our own revenue stream. As an organisation we are therefore tied to the fortune of our token value, both from a financial standpoint and a mission standpoint. Tokens are used on the platform at their market value, so a rising token value will see a users purchasing power in the platform rise too. It is in both our interest and the interest of the decentralised housing system’s participants to see the value of the EHB tokens rise.

Whenever a new project is started on the platform new finance will flow in from home buyers paying their deposit for the project and the investors in the project buying EHBs to invest, raising the demand for EHBs and it’s price. As the project is developed tokens will be sold to pay for the development, bringing the price of the tokens down, but in the process creating new value in the real world, in the form of a house or houses. At this stage the home buyer will leverage their investment in the project to get a mortgage from a bank at the agreed price of the now built house. This will be between a 15-30% profit margin depending on many factors. New money will therefore flow into the token value pool at a predictable rate with every new project. This increase in value could be sustained simply by undertaking the same number of projects each year, but we of course intend to rapidly scale the number of projects we start and complete each year.


--Technical Overview--
The system has been designed to be modular and is therefore flexible to scale, evolve and react to any future technological improvements, regulatory changes or other unforeseen changes that could impact the housing sector.

We are developing the web applications in the following technologies:
--Python
--ReactJS
--Web3 (for python, java, javascript or just RPC depending on where we are calling from)
This will be packaged in Docker containers and deployed by Kubernetes on Google Cloud. This is to ensure a flexible and elastic system setup that can grow or shrink depending on needs and usage.

We are developing the mobile applications in the following technologies:
--Swift 4 for iOS
--Java and Kotlin for Android

We are developing the smart contracts in the following technologies:
--Truffle
--Solidity
--Zeppelin

The following modules are the platform core modules which will be developed over the course of 2018:

Discovery Portal
When homebuyers, landowners and developers join ehab, they meet each other through the Discovery Portal. By matching collaborators according to their needs, we find the missing pieces of the puzzle to break ground on new projects. (This module increases the demand for EHBs, by growing the pool of potential house buyers)

Design Room
This is where projects really get under way, sparks fly and new ideas are shared and formed. Homebuyers get to communicate more detailed design information about their dream homes, while developers can upload plans and initial sketches to gather feedback. We use blockchain to govern transparent and fair voting rounds, allowing the group to collaboratively come to a shared vision of design that meets the community’s needs.

Crowdfunding Marketplace
Projects that have achieved consensus in the Design Room graduate to listing on the Crowdfunding Marketplace. Smart contracts then generate new EHP tokens that are tied to the project and can be bought by investors. Local investors get priority access to new opportunities, before the offering is open to our global crowdfunding community. Through our powerful network in institutional finance, unsold allocations are sold, ensuring no project is stalled by slow financing. Homebuyers are offered fair mortgage terms and get access to innovative alternatives in shared ownership. All agreements are documented and secured by ehab’s smart contracts and stored on the blockchain.

We are the only crowdfunding platform that tracks contractor reputation on the blockchain. We transparently create risk indicators that enable investors to see how contractors have performed on previous projects, allowing them to make balanced portfolio investment decisions.  


Construction Tracker
Once funded, contractors will collaborate with service providers to bring the project to life.  So that project backers and homebuyers can keep tabs on progress, developers will use the Construction Tracker to share updates with the project ecosystem. Smart contracts will be used to govern and incentivize timely construction, triggering payments to release against project milestones.

ehab Wallet
Once users have purchased tokens and made investments, we give them all the support they need to maximize returns. Through the ehab Wallet, users get intelligent portfolio management tools, allowing them to quickly check in on payback rates and returns to their project tokens.

Democracy.earth are in my top 5 all time favourite blockchain projects. https://www.democracy.earth/
Watch the video on their home page, that is how government could be. Something which is truly the amalgamation of all the citizens thoughts, ideas and needs.
Tech keeps getting more amazing, it's our attitudes which need to change to unlock the full potential of tehcnologies

Pollution is a pretty general term. In this instance you are referring to air pollution. Air pollution comes from a huge number of sources, the one you are most likely o have encountered are fires and diesel/oil burning combustion engines. If you turn all cars electric then the air in our cities will very quickly clear up. This would see huge health benefits and would reduce the smog hanging over our cities considerably. This would also be much better for the environment because we produce some of our electricity via renewables. However if we can get to an 100% renewable energy economy that would be the ideal.

If you can help someone realise their passion, this is what will motivate them. This may take time or money, but once the discovery is made, neither time nor money will matter they will pursue that work or activity for as long as they retain pleasure from it.

The simple answer is no. There are still a billion people who don't have access to the internet, let alone smart phones. Will it continue to grow its user base rapidly? Yes.

Government will have to adapt and evolve with technology or it too will become obsolete as so many other things and systems in our world. At the moment there is such a holding back of technology from our current system. I mean money, capitalism and representative democracy. We have the ability to easily produce enough for everyones needs, there is no need to continually aquire and destroy. With tech we can have fluid democracy ass described by the blockchain project democracy.earth.
Tech companies need to keep pushing the bounds of the possible and change will eventually come.
