The industry is changing, and indeed, now more than ever, platform creation is a hot topic for dialogue between concept developers, architects, housebuilders, and material manufacturers. These specialists’ activities are interrelated, and often a lack of conditions for dialogue comes between them. A new project set up by Universal University might solve this task. The platform should be independent and should create equal opportunities for dialogue, bringing into play all parties involved in the process of programming and development of territories. It is important to have not only ideologists in this dialogue, but also those people who implement solutions and projects.
